People Always Say That I

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

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.

At The Time I Was Arrested I Had No Idea It Would Turn Into This. It Was Just A Day Like Any Other Day. The Only Thing That Made It Significant Was That The Masses Of The People Joined In.

Since I Have Always Been A Strong Believer In God, I Knew That He Was With Me, And Only He Could Get Me Through That Next Step

People Need To Free Their Minds Of Racial Prejudice And Believe In Equality For All And Freedom Regardless Of Race. It Would Be A Good Thing If All People Were Treated Equally And Justly And Not Be Discriminated Against Because Of Race Or Religion Or Anything That Makes Them Different From Others.
