The Only Tired I Was, Was Tired

Our Mistreatment Was Just Not Right, And I Was Tired Of It.

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

Many Whites, Even White Southerners Told Me That Even Though It May Have Seemed Like The Blacks Were Being Freed (by My Actions) They Felt More Free And At Ease Themselves. They Thought That My Action Didn't Just Free Blacks But Them, Too.

When That White Driver Stepped Back Toward Us, When He Waved His Hand And Ordered Us Up And Out Of Our Seats, I Felt A Determination Cover My Body Like A Quilt On A Winter Night.

If You Want To Be Respected For Your Actions, Then Your Behavior Must Be Above Reproach. If Our Lives Demonstrate That We Are Peaceful, Humble, And Trusted, This Is Recognized By Others.
