Rosa Parks
Why do you all push us around?
Rosa Parks
If I can sit down for freedom, you can stand up for children.
Rosa Parks

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
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
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
I believe there is only one race - the human race.
