The Time Had Just Come When I

I Am Leaving This Legacy To All Of You...to Bring Peace, Justice, Equality, Love And A Fulfillment Of What Our Lives Should Be. Without Vision, The People Will Perish, And Without Courage And Inspiration, Dreams Will Die - The Dream Of Freedom And Peace.

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.

Racial Pride And Self-dignity Were Emphasized In My Family And Community.

I Was Ready To Die But Give My Consent Never. Never, Never.

One Person Can Change The World.
