I Will Always Work For Human Rights

I Had Given Up My Seat Before, But This Day, I Was Especially Tired. Tired From My Work As A Seamstress, And Tired From The Ache In My Heart.

I Learned To Put My Trust In God And To See Him As My Strength. Long Ago I Set My Mind To Be A Free Person And Not To Give In To Fear. I Always Felt That It Was My Right To Defend Myself If I Could. 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.

As Long As People Use Tactics To Oppress Or Restrict Other People From Being Free, There Is Work To Be Done.

Racism Is Still With Us. But It Is Up To Us To Prepare Our Children For What They Have To Meet, And, Hopefully, We Shall Overcome.

When I See The Leadership Roles Black Women Are Taking Today I Am Very Encouraged.
