I believe there is only one race - the human race.

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.

When I see the leadership roles black women are taking today I am very encouraged.

When that white driver stepped back toward us, when he waved his hand and ordered us up and out of our seats, I felt a determination cover my body like a quilt on a winter night.

If I stayed angry at other people, I would miss finding friends among those I was angry with.

It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of 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.
