On Mar. 2, 1955 (9 mos. before Rosa Parks’ act of civil disobedience), 15-year-old Claudette Colvin was arrested for refusing to give up her bus seat to a white passenger. She became one of four plaintiffs in Browder v. Gayle, which ruled that Montgomery's segregated bus system was unconstitutional.

At 64, Cheryl had never been sued—until a payday lender took her to court. As a great-grandmother supporting four generations, she couldn’t afford the hit. Legal Aid uncovered illegal loan practices, fought back, and won her a financial award—giving Cheryl breathing room.
