QUOTES
Civil
Rights
I
knew someone had to take the first step and I made up my mind not to move.
"The
only thing that bothered me was that we waited so long to make this protest."
Community
Whatever my
individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who
felt the same way.
Freedom
I would like to be known as a person who is concerned about freedom and equality
and justice and prosperity for all people.
Hope
I do the very best I can to look upon life with optimism and hope and looking
forward to a better day, but I don't think there is anything such as complete
happiness. It pains me that there is still a lot of Klan activity and racism.
I think when you say you're happy, you have everything that you need and everything
that you want, and nothing more to wish for. I haven't reached that stage yet.
Living
a Life of Compassion
Each
person must live their life as a model for others.
Memories
of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Nothing
To Fear
I
have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear;
knowing what must be done does away with fear.
