“I believe there is only one race – the human race.”

One person can change the world.

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

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

My only concern was to get home after a hard day’s work.

I knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move.

Many whites, even white Southerners told me that even though it may have seemed like the blacks were being freed (by my actions) they felt more free and at ease themselves. They thought that my action didn’t just free blacks but them, too.

There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take. The line between reason and madness grows thinner.

I will always work for human rights for all people.

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

There is no future without education.

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

I paid the same fare as others, and I felt violated. I was not going back.

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.

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.

Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it.

If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.

My will is mine, I shall not make it soft for you.

Believe in things you accept than regretting in your disbeliefs.

Claim it. Believe it. Accept it.  

I go to church because my parents go to church, and I believe the things they were doing at the time were right.

Until it’s my turn, I will happily keep on clapping for others.

Nothing can hold you back once you believe in your mind that magics are possible.

You’ll keep believing in toxic love and relationships until that one person comes and challenge all your beliefs.

You feel more confident when you believe in god.
