about

Adding this song for Bandcamp's June 18th fundraiser for the NAACP. Claudette was the first person to defy the Jim Crow segregation laws that were operated by the bus companies in Birminghmam, Alabama. It has to be said that at the the time, the NAACP didn't support 15 year old Claudette, because they didn't think she was media -friendly, or acceptably respectable enough. Whatever. That didn't stop her testifying the following year in the civil lawsuit that ended up in the US supreme court that decided that bus segrgation was "unconstitutional". I have been writing & rewriting this song since 2016, & never quite got it right. This may be the best it gets. . This is a home recording, sore throat & all. Hope you'll buy it, help support the work of NAACP - none of us are perfect, even those on the progressive side of history.
& - total & absolute respect to Claudette Colvin.
