Since I have always been a strong believer in God, I knew that He was with me, and only He could get me through that next step

People always say that I didn’t give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn’t true. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.

I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking forward to a better day.

I had no idea that history was being made. I was just tired of giving up.

When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.

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

Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground.
