I Had Given Up My Seat Before,

People Need To Free Their Minds Of Racial Prejudice And Believe In Equality For All And Freedom Regardless Of Race. It Would Be A Good Thing If All People Were Treated Equally And Justly And Not Be Discriminated Against Because Of Race Or Religion Or Anything That Makes Them Different From Others.

I Did Not Want To Be Mistreated, I Did Not Want To Be Deprived Of A Seat That I Had Paid For. It Was Just Time… There Was Opportunity For Me To Take A Stand To Express The Way I Felt About Being Treated In That Manner. I Had Not Planned To Get Arrested. I Had Plenty To Do Without Having To End Up In Jail. But When I Had To Face That Decision, I Didn't Hesitate To Do So Because I Felt That We Had Endured That Too Long. The More We Gave In, The More We Complied With That Kind Of Treatment, The More Oppressive It Became.

I Have Learned Over The Years That When One's Mind Is Made Up, This Diminishes Fear; Knowing What Must Be Done Does Away With Fear.

I Was Ready To Die But Give My Consent Never. Never, Never.

There Is Work To Do; That Is Why I Cannot Stop Or Sit Still. As Long As A Child Needs Help, As Long As People Are Not Free, There Will Be Work To Do. As Long As An Elderly Person Is Attacked Or In Need Of Support, There Is Work To Do. As Long As We Have Bigotry And Crime, We Have Work To Do.
