Racism Is Still With Us. But It

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.

There Is No Future Without Education.

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.

What Really Matters Is Not Whether We Have Problems, But How We Go Through Them. We Must Keep Going On To Make It Through Whatever We Are Facing.

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