In it not easy to remain rational and normal mentally in such a setting where, even in our airport in Montgomery, there is a white waiting room...

Whites would accuse you of causing trouble when all you were doing was acting like a normal human being instead of cringing. - Rosa Parks
You spend your whole lifetime in your occupation, actually making life clever, easy and convenient for white people. But when you have to get transportation home, you are denied an equal accommodation. Our existence was for the white man's comfort and well-being; we had to accept being deprived of just being human. - Rosa Parks
