To Bring About Change, You Must Not

I Would Like To Be Remembered As A Person Who Wanted To Be Free... So Other People Would Be Also Free.

Nothing In The Golden Rule Says That Others Will Treat Us As We Have Treated Them. It Only Says That We Must Treat Others In A Way That We Would Want To Be Treated.

There Were Times When It Would Have Been Easy To Fall Apart Or To Go In The Opposite Direction, But Somehow I Felt That If I Took On More Step, Someone Would Come Along To Join Me.

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.

I Believe There Is Only One Race - The Human Race.
