Rosa Parks Sites:
"Back then," Mrs. Parks recalled in an interview, "we didn't have any civil rights. It was just a matter of survival, of existing from one
day to the next. I remember going to sleep as a girl hearing the Klan ride at night and hearing a lynching and being afraid the house
would burn down." In the same interview, she cited her lifelong acquaintance with fear as the reason for her relative fearlessness in
deciding to appeal her conviction during the bus boycott. "I didn't have any special fear," she said. "It was more of a relief to know
that I wasn't alone."

"I became convinced that noncooperation with evil is as much a moral obligation as is cooperation with
good. No other person has been more eloquent and passionate in getting this idea across than Henry David
Thoreau. As a result of his writings and personal witness, we are the heirs of a legacy of creative protest." Martin Luther King, Jr, from his Autobiography, Chapter 2
