I Was Ready To Die

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.

I Had No Idea That History Was Being Made. I Was Just Tired Of Giving Up.

It Takes More Than One Person To Bring About Peace - It Takes All Of Us.

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.

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.
