I had given up my seat before, but this day, I was especially tired. Tired from my work as a seamstress, and tired from the ache in my heart.

Each person must live their life as a model for others.

I believe we are here on the planet Earth to live, grow up and do what we can to make this world a better place for all people to enjoy freedom.

Racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.

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.

To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.

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