It Takes More Than One Person To

I'm Tired Of Being Treated Like A Second-class Citizen.

An Opportunity Was Being Given To Me To Do What I Had Asked Of Others.

Arrest Me For Sitting On A Bus? You May Do That.

People Have Said Over The Years That The Reason I Did Not Give Up My Seat Was Because I Was Tired. I Did Not Think Of Being Physically Tired. My Feet Were Not Hurting. I Was Tired In A Different Way. I Was Tired Of Seeing So Many Men Treated As Boys And Not Called By Their Proper Names Or Titles. I Was Tired Of Seeing Children And Women Mistreated And Disrespected Because Of The Color Of Their Skin. I Was Tired Of Jim Crow Laws, Of Legally Enforced Racial Segregation.

I Want To Be Treated Like A Human Being.
