Without A Vision The People Perish, But

I Had Given Up My Seat Before, But This Day, I Was Especially Tired. Tired From My Work As A Seamstress, And Tired From The Ache In My Heart.

When That White Driver Stepped Back Toward Us, When He Waved His Hand And Ordered Us Up And Out Of Our Seats, I Felt A Determination Cover My Body Like A Quilt On A Winter Night.

Since I Have Always Been A Strong Believer In God, I Knew That He Was With Me, And Only He Could Get Me Through That Next Step

There Is No Future Without Education.

Racism Is Still With Us. But It Is Up To Us To Prepare Our Children For What They Have To Meet, And, Hopefully, We Shall Overcome.
