 Black History Month: Claudette Colvin and Gladys West
Our history—Black History—runs deep through the very fabric of the United States, shaping its roads, its movements, and its future.

Claudette Colvin reminds us that courage has no age. At just 15 years old, she took a brave stand against segregation, refusing to give up her seat months before the more widely known bus boycott began. Her bold act helped ignite a movement that changed a nation.

Gladys West shows us the power of brilliance behind the scenes. A gifted mathematician, her groundbreaking work on satellite geodesy laid the foundation for the GPS technology we rely on every day.

From fearless protest to pioneering science, these women point the way—reminding us that Black history is American history, filled with resilience, innovation, and unwavering strength.
