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.

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

I thought of Emmett Till, and when the bus driver ordered me to move to the back, I just couldn’t move.

It was not pre-arranged. It just happened that the driver made a demand and I just didn't feel like obeying his demand. I was quite tired after spending a full day working.

Racial pride and self-dignity were emphasized in my family and community.

I want to be treated like a human being.

One person can change the world.
