"Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome."
"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 not the only person who had been mistreated and humiliated. I was not the only person who had been arrested for this sort of thing. I was just one of many."
"I had no special fear. It was more of a determination to no longer be treated as a second-class citizen."
"There were times when it would have been easy to give up, but I knew that if I did, others would suffer."
