I Thought Of Emmett Till, And When

I Will Always Work For Human Rights For All People.

You Cannot Always Control The Powers-that-be. You Just Have To Have Faith And Stand By The Things You Believe In.

I Did Not Want To Be Mistreated, I Did Not Want To Be Deprived Of A Seat That I Had Paid For. It Was Just Time… There Was Opportunity For Me To Take A Stand To Express The Way I Felt About Being Treated In That Manner. I Had Not Planned To Get Arrested. I Had Plenty To Do Without Having To End Up In Jail. But When I Had To Face That Decision, I Didn't Hesitate To Do So Because I Felt That We Had Endured That Too Long. The More We Gave In, The More We Complied With That Kind Of Treatment, The More Oppressive It Became.

I Thought Of Emmett Till, And When The Bus Driver Ordered Me To Move To The Back, I Just Couldn’t Move.

Without A Vision The People Perish, But Without Courage Dreams Die.
