Claudette Colvin
Time: Wednesday Mar 2, 1955
Place: southern United States, Dixie, Dixieland, U.S.
Details: March 1955, Claudette Colvin—a fifteen-year-old black schoolgirl in Montgomery—refused to give up her bus seat to a white man in violation of Jim Crow laws, local laws in the Southern United States that enforced racial segregation. King was on the committee from the Birmingham African-American community that looked into the case; E. D. Nixon and Clifford Durr decided to wait for a better case to pursue because the incident involved a minor.

Best-effort ordering. Some events may appear out of order since many are only known to the year, but they are usually around the same period.
