“But there comes a time when people get tired of being trampled by oppression. There comes a time when people get tired of being plunged into the abyss of exploitation and nagging injustice. The story of Montgomery is the story of 50,000 such Negroes who were willing to substitute tired feed for tired souls, and walk the streets of Montgomery until the walls of segregation were finally battered by the forces of justice.”
― Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story
― Stride Toward Freedom: The Montgomery Story
“Why is it, I asked myself, that the whites who believe in integration are so often less eloquent, less positive in their testimony than the segregationists? It is still one of the tragedies of human history that the "children of darkness" are frequently more determined and zealous than the "children of light.”
