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.
Rosa Parks

An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
Rosa Parks
Image
There is work to do that is why I cannot stop or sit still. As long as a child needs help, as long as people are not free, there will be work to do. As long as an elderly person is attacked or in need of support, there is work to do. As long as we have bigotry and crime, we have work to do.
Rosa Parks

As long as there is unemployment, war, crime and all things that go to the infliction of man's inhumanity to man, regardless - there is much to be done, and people need to work together.
Rosa Parks

Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
Image
I believe there is only one race - the human race.
Rosa Parks
Image
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
Rosa Parks
Image
Arrest me for sitting on a bus? You may do that.
Rosa Parks
Image
I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.
Rosa Parks
Image
If you want to be respected for your actions, then your behavior must be above reproach. If our lives demonstrate that we are peaceful, humble, and trusted, this is recognized by others.
Rosa Parks
Image
The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed.
Rosa Parks
Image
If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.
Rosa Parks
Image
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
Rosa Parks
Image
What really matters is not whether we have problems, but how we go through them. We must keep going on to make it through whatever we are facing.
Rosa Parks
