Rosa Parks — "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that is…"

People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being an old lady then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
