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.
People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.
Time begins the healing process of wounds cut deeply by oppression. We soothe ourselves with the salve of attempted indifference, accepting the false pattern set up by the horrible restriction of Jim Crow laws.
There is just so much hurt, disappointment, and oppression one can take... The line between reason and madness grows thinner.
