“The time came around to make a decision. You stay, or you leave. Darn it, love is such a funny thing. I chose love, and I stayed. Medgar told me to be sure that I knew what I was doing, because he knew what he was doing. . . . So, what do you do when you’re in love? You stay. You learn to work along with that person. . . . For me, I had to learn the deep meaning of prayer, because when he left the house every day, I never knew whether I’d see him again.”
