Rosa Parks
We didn't have any civil rights. It was just a matter of survival, of existing from one day to the next. I remember going to sleep as a girl hearing the Klan ride at night and hearing a lynching and being afraid the house would burn down.
Rosa Parks
Without a vision the people perish, but without courage dreams die.
Rosa Parks
I will always work for human rights for all people.
Rosa Parks
Black women are very capable of leading our organizations. I believe that firmly.

Rosa Parks
