There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take... The line between reason and madness grows thinner.

All I was doing was trying to get home from work.

Have you ever been hurt and the place tries to heal a bit, and you just pull the scar off of it over and over again.

Aku lelah diperlakukan seperti warga kelas dua.

As far back as I can remember, I knew there was something wrong with our way of life when people could be mistreated because of the color of their skin.

Let us look at Jim Crow for the criminal he is and what he has done to one life multiplied millions of times over these United States and the world. He walks us on a tightrope from birth.

Time begins the healing process of wounds cut deeply by oppression. We soothe ourselves with the salve of attempted indifference, accepting the false pattern set up by the horrible restriction of Jim Crow laws.

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... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

I have never been what you would call just an integrationist. I know I've been called that... Integrating that bus wouldn't mean more equality. Even when there was segregation, there was plenty of integration in the South, but it was for the benefit and convenience of the white person, not us.

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.
