More quotes by 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
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
I believe there is only one race - the human race.
Rosa Parks
When people made up their minds that they wanted to be free and took action, then there was a change.
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
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
Nothing in the Golden Rule says that others will treat us as we have treated them. It only says that we must treat others in a way that we would want to be treated.
Rosa Parks
The time had just come when I had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed.
Rosa Parks
I knew someone had to take the first step. So I made up my mind not to move.
Rosa Parks
As long as people use tactics to oppress or restrict other people from being free, there is work to be done.
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 had been pushed as far as I could stand to be pushed. I had decided that I would have to know once and for all what rights I had as a human being and a citizen.
Rosa Parks
The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Rosa Parks
An opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others.
Rosa Parks
Victory or defeat? It is the slogan of all-powerful militarism in every belligerent nation. And yet, what can victory bring to the proletariat?
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
One person can change the world.
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
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
It takes more than one person to bring about peace - it takes all of us.
Rosa Parks
