Rosa ParksI thought about Emmett Till, and I could not go back. My legs and feet were not hurting, that is a stereotype. I paid the same fare as others, and I felt violated. I was not going back.

It would be a good thing if all people were treated equally and justly and not be discriminated against because of race or religion or anything that makes them different from others.
