I See The Energy Of Young People

I Will No Longer Act On The Outside In A Way That Contradicts The Truth That I Hold Deeply Inside. I Will No Longer Act As If I Were Less Than The Whole Person I Know Myself Inwardly To Be.

I Do The Very Best I Can To Look Upon Life With Optimism And Hope And Looking Forward To A Better Day.

Every Day Before Supper And Before We Went To Services On Sundays. My Grandmother Would Read The Bible To Me, And My Grandfather Would Pray. We Even Had Devotions Before Going To Pick Cotton In The Fields. Prayer And The Bible, Became A Part Of My Everyday Thoughts And Beliefs. I Learned To Put My Trust In God And To Seek Him As My Strength.

My Resisting Being Mistreated On The Bus Did Not Begin With That Particular Arrest…i Did A Lot Of Walking In Montgomery.

I Will Always Work For Human Rights For All People.
