A re-enactment of Colvin's resistance is portrayed in a 2014 episode of the comedy TV series ''[[Drunk History]]'' about Montgomery, Alabama. She was played by Mariah Iman Wilson.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}}

In the second season (2013) of the HBO drama series ''[[The Newsroom (U.S. TV series)|The Newsroom]]'', the lead character, Will McAvoy (played by [[Jeff Daniels]]), uses Colvin's refusal to comply with segregation as an example of how "one thing" can change everything. He remarks that if the [[ACLU]] had used her act of civil disobedience, rather than that of Rosa Parks' eight months later, to highlight the injustice of segregation, a young preacher named Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. may never have attracted national attention, and America probably would not have had his voice for the Civil Rights Movement.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Newsroom - Will McAvoy On Historical Hypotheticals|date=November 11, 2013|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=herczHmAyno |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/herczHmAyno| archive-date=2021-12-11 |url-status=live|access-date=October 27, 2017| via= YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref>
