If I Can Sit Down For Freedom,

I Have Spent Over Half My Life Teaching Love And Brotherhood, And I Feel That It Is Better To Continue To Try To Teach Or Live Equality And Love Than It Would Be To Have Hatred Or Prejudice. Everyone Living Together In Peace And Harmony And Love - That’s The Goal That We Seek, And I Think That The More People There Are Who Reach That State Of Mind, The Better We Will All Be.

My Resisting Being Mistreated On The Bus Did Not Begin With That Particular Arrest…i Did A Lot Of Walking In Montgomery.

Whatever My Individual Desires Were To Be Free, I Was Not Alone. There Were Many Others Who Felt The Same Way.

If I Stayed Angry At Other People, I Would Miss Finding Friends Among Those I Was Angry With.

People Always Say That I Didn’t Give Up My Seat Because I Was Tired, But That Isn’t True. No, The Only Tired I Was, Was Tired Of Giving In.
