| Rosa Parks |
Why did Rosa Parks stay in her seat that day? The best answer comes in her own words:
“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, or no more tired than I usually was at the end of a working day. I was not old, although some people have an image of me as being old then. I was forty-two. No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in.”
Excerpt from Parker J. Palmer’s book “The Courage to Teach.”
