On Thursday, March 25th at 7:00 pm. (Brunswick, ME) Phililip Hoose's book, Claudette Colvin: Twice Towards Justice is a biography of young Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old who refused to give up her bus seat to a white woman in segregated Montgomery, Alabama. Colvin's act of defiance in 1955 (nine months before Rosa Park's celebrated act) was followed a year later by Colvin's courageous testimony in the Browder v. Gayle court case. That case ended segregation on Montgomery buses and struck a fatal blow to segregation throughout the Jim Crow South. Colvin's story was virtually unknow until the publication of Hoose's book. Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing at the event, courtesy of Gulf of Maine Books. This event is a free reading and discussion. At 6:00 pm, there will be a reception for the author before the reading. Tickets for the reception at are $25 with proceeds to benefit the Maine Writers and Publishers Alliance Fall Retreat Fellowship Fund. For advanced tickets, please call 207-725-5222. >link to Frontier Cafe website Add this page to your favorite Social Bookmarking websites        |
