There Is No Future Without Education.

People Have Said Over The Years That The Reason I Did Not Give Up My Seat Was Because I Was Tired. I Did Not Think Of Being Physically Tired. My Feet Were Not Hurting. I Was Tired In A Different Way. I Was Tired Of Seeing So Many Men Treated As Boys And Not Called By Their Proper Names Or Titles. I Was Tired Of Seeing Children And Women Mistreated And Disrespected Because Of The Color Of Their Skin. I Was Tired Of Jim Crow Laws, Of Legally Enforced Racial Segregation.

All I Was Trying To Do Was Get Home From Work.

Why Do You All Push Us Around?

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