Claudette Colvin: America’s unsung civil rights hero remembered in immersive experience

The story of an unknown teenage civil rights activist in 1950s Alabama who defied the authorities – yet nobody knows her name.
A new immersive experience called Coloured tells the story of Claudette Colvin, jailed when she refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white passenger.
All this, nine months before a similar action by Rosa Parks sparked the creation of a nationwide movement.
The work is on show at the Wales Millennium Centre in Cardiff and we went to see it.
