Here and Now with Sandra Bookman: Remembering life and legacy of Civil Rights pioneer Claudette Colvin

NEW YORK (WABC) — Coming up on Here and Now, we remember the life and legacy of Civil Rights activist Claudette Colvin.

You may not know the name, but she was a true Civil Rights pioneer, a real hidden figure. Colvin refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus, months before Rosa Parks gained international fame.

Colvin died earlier in January. She was 86 years old.

Back in 2013, Ms. Colvin sat down with Here and Now. We take a look back at her interview with Here and Now anchor Sandra Bookman.

Also ahead, how cervical cancer disproportionately affects Black women and how the “Did You Check Yourself” campaign is trying to change that.

And the lifestyle performance coaching company that may be the key to getting in shape.

Here and Now with Sandra Bookman airs Sundays at 12:00 p.m. on Channel 7, WABC-TV in New York City.
