More quotes by Rosa Parks
There is a lack of interest in voting in the United States, and that troubles me. It is very necessary that people get registered, study the issues and be aware of the politics of our country. We will really be set back if people don't take the time to learn about the candidates who are concerned about the well-being of all the citizens and vote.
Rosa Parks
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.
Rosa Parks
I had felt for a long time, that if I was ever told to get up so a white person could sit, that I would refuse to do so.
Rosa Parks
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
People need to free their minds of racial prejudice and believe in equality for all and freedom regardless of race. It would be a good thing if all people were treated equally and justly and not be discriminated against because of race or religion or anything that makes them different from others.
Rosa Parks
My resisting being mistreated on the bus did not begin with that particular arrest…I did a lot of walking in Montgomery.
Rosa Parks
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
Rosa Parks
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
Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it.
Rosa Parks
I want to be treated like a human being.
Rosa Parks
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
Memories of our lives, of our works and our deeds will continue in others.
Rosa Parks
Arrest me for sitting on a bus? You may do that.
Rosa Parks
The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed.
Rosa Parks
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
Rosa Parks
Black women are very capable of leading our organizations. I believe that firmly.
Rosa Parks
Stand for something or you will fall for anything. Today's mighty oak is yesterday's nut that held its ground.
Rosa Parks
One person can change the world.
Rosa Parks
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
