Stood | Sitting | Standing |
Was that I was a person with dignity and self-respect, and I should not set my sights lower than anybody else just because I was black.
- Rosa Parks
He pointed at me and said, 'that one won't stand up.' The two policemen came near me and only one spoke to me. He asked me if the driver had asked me to stand up? I said, 'yes.' He asked me why I didn't stand up... I told him I didn't think I should have to stand up. So I asked him: 'Why do you push us around?' And he told me, 'I don't know, but the law is the law and you are under arrest.'
