Victory Or Defeat? It Is The Slogan

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.

There Is Work To Do; That Is Why I Cannot Stop Or Sit Still. As Long As A Child Needs Help, As Long As People Are Not Free, There Will Be Work To Do. As Long As An Elderly Person Is Attacked Or In Need Of Support, There Is Work To Do. As Long As We Have Bigotry And Crime, We Have Work To Do.

I Had Felt For A Long Time, That If I Was Ever Told To Get Up So A White Person Could Sit, That I Would Refuse To Do So.

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

If I Can Sit Down For Freedom, You Can Stand Up For Children.
