Loosing the job and impossibility to get new employment in the city. She lost all white clients except one which was big hit financially. Being very low on money having to accept help.
Being hated in the city. Getting harassment and tons of hate calls. Those impacting her husbands mental health a lot.
Effectively life became much harder for her and later she had to move away. Neither her nor her husband nor her mom gained anything personal but lost a lot.
Colvim herself once commented on that too and on pressure she seen Parks under after. She was ressentful they did not trusted her, but glad she was not in Parkers place. They knew each other.
It is not like Colvin and Parks were first blacks defiant in the bus. But Parks was using Colvins story for months and Colvin joined her group.
You basically described circumstances that applied to both women. They both wound up moving North due to the extreme negative pressure. I fail to see your point.
> It is not like Colvin and Parks were first blacks defiant in the bus. But Parks was using Colvins story for months and Colvin joined her group.
You got there them knowing each other, you got there historical context and you got there reasons why Parks was seen as reliable and tough. You also got there how Colwin case influenced WPC and Parks herself. Fun fact: Parks forced Colvin to retell arrest story at each youth meeting.
Even wiki you referenced has Colvin commenting on Parks and vice versa. You think it is possible without them knowing each other? The wiki you posted had Colvin being sexually assaulted by cops, you think it was outlier bad apple cops? Oh, and besides Colvin and Parks there was yet another teenager bus arrest case prior considered, through I forgot the name.
Or picjlk really any other detailed book on topic.
Also Colvin was not pregnant at time of refusing to stand up, that happened slightly later and I did not read about her partner being white. Just him being much older.
