My Only Concern Was To Get Home

I Learned To Put My Trust In God And To See Him As My Strength. Long Ago I Set My Mind To Be A Free Person And Not To Give In To Fear. I Always Felt That It Was My Right To Defend Myself If I Could. I Have Learned Over The Years That When One's Mind Is Made Up, This Diminishes Fear; Knowing What Must Be Done Does Away With Fear.

As Long As There Is Unemployment, War, Crime And All Things That Go To The Infliction Of Man's Inhumanity To Man, Regardless - There Is Much To Be Done, And People Need To Work Together.

We Didn't Have Any Civil Rights. It Was Just A Matter Of Survival, Of Existing From One Day To The Next. I Remember Going To Sleep As A Girl Hearing The Klan Ride At Night And Hearing A Lynching And Being Afraid The House Would Burn Down.

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

You Must Never Be Fearful About What You Are Doing When It Is Right.
