Rosa Parks
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
Rosa Parks
Many whites, even white Southerners told me that even though it may have seemed like the blacks were being freed (by my actions) they felt more free and at ease themselves. They thought that my action didn't just free blacks but them, too.
Rosa Parks
To bring about change, you must not be afraid to take the first step. We will fail when we fail to try.
Rosa Parks
I did not get on the bus to get arrested. I got on the bus to go home.
Rosa Parks
