"There were times when it would have been easy to give up and give in, but I was determined to hold my ground."
"I had been pushed around all my life and felt at this moment that I couldn’t take it anymore."
"It was not pre-arranged. It was a spontaneous decision."
"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."
"I was arrested on December 1st, 1955 for refusing to stand up on the orders of the bus driver, after the white seats had been occupied in the front."
