We all know about Rosa Parks and not giving up a seat for a white man. Months before Parks, Claudette Colvin stood up to segregation in Alabama in 1955. Colvin was only 15 years old! She even wanted to be president one day. On March 2, 1955, Colvin was riding home on a city bus after school. Then a bus driver told her to give up her seat to a white passenger. She said, "It's my constitutional right to sit here as much as that lady. I paid my fare, it's my constitutional right." Colvin was arrested on several charges, including violating the city's segregation laws. For several hours of her being in jail she was terrified. The NAFTAOCP (The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) briefly considered using Colvin's case to challenge the segregation laws. But then they decided not to because of her age.

What I learned from this article:
Did you know that scientists have found a ninth planet in our solar system. They didnt belive this at first because they had seen all of the solar systems going in the same direction witch was very unsual. They soon found a planet. They thought is wasnt the planet but just a coincedence or a mishap. But then they realized there was a ninth planet in our solar system. They are estimating it is either 10x the size of earth or the same size as earth. This is a very unsusual thing. I find it very cool. Dont you? Did you know that a super blue blood moon appeared on January 31, 2018? It may appear again some time in the futer. It wont appear until 2037. I hope I live to see it. While most people think a phenomenon appears every month it does not. A blue moon is when there are 2 full moons in one month, a super moon is nearest to the earth making it appear larger, a blod moon is the red tint earths shadow casts on the moon during a total lunar eclypse. If you mix them all you will ger a super blue blood moon . Did you know that one special family got to have a sleep over with 35 sharks. This family entered a contest with a few other families. They are in a tank 10 meters down with only a 360 degree transparent wall. They will also be provided with a nice under water meal. Plus a nice tour of the tank. All pillows will be taken out after the competition. I hope that they didnt watch jaws before entering the competition. Bye!!! Did you know that sharks eat there greens too? All you need to proove it is the seagrass munching Bonethead. They eat 50% of greens. So half meat, half greens. Recearchers put squid and seagrass in a tank and 90% of the eaten food was seagrass.
Did you know that disney has had mickey mouse for 90 years now? Disney made a special exhibit just for Mickey mouse. They let inspiratonal artists draw on the walls to make the steam boat that mickey rides in. That is called the black and white room. Now I am going to talk about the color room. It is inspired by the movie fantasia. Iove that movie. Have a nice day!!!!!
