Unable to afford education or lose your car to a private towing company the law treats all defendants as individuals but collateral consequences like these they fall harder on working class defendants than on wealthier ones, Does this create a two tier justice system that violates the 14th amendment Equal Protection Guarantee Even when the Law itself Appears neutral on its face.
We have to understand very clearly that there’s a man in our community called a capitalist. Sometimes he’s black and sometimes he’s white. But that man has to be driven out of our community, because anybody who comes into the community to make profit off the people by exploiting them can be defined as a capitalist.✊🏿🖤🤎

Claudette Colvin was an early activist in the civil rights movement in Alabama. Nine months before Rosa Parks refused to give up her bus seat to a white woman, Claudette Colvin did the same. At the young age of 15, Colvin was later arrested; violating the city’s segregation laws was among the many charges leveled against her. Colvin later told Newsweek, “I felt like Sojourner Truth was pushing down on one shoulder, and Harriet Tubman was pushing down on the other—saying, 'Sit down girl!' I was glued to my seat.”
Many wonder why she isn’t as famous as Rosa and this is reason; she was a pregnant, unmarried teenager and the civil rights leaders feared that her image would damage their campaign for respectability so they ended up choosing Rosa, an older married woman with community ties. I believe that if it wasn’t for Colvin we may not have had the Rosa Parks story. You can read her full story and an interview with her. Ms. Colvin died this year January 13.
