Each Person Must Live Their Life As

I Am Leaving This Legacy To All Of You...to Bring Peace, Justice, Equality, Love And A Fulfillment Of What Our Lives Should Be. Without Vision, The People Will Perish, And Without Courage And Inspiration, Dreams Will Die - The Dream Of Freedom And Peace.

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.

If You Want To Be Respected For Your Actions, Then Your Behavior Must Be Above Reproach. If Our Lives Demonstrate That We Are Peaceful, Humble, And Trusted, This Is Recognized By Others.

If I Can Sit Down For Freedom, You Can Stand Up For Children.

Every Day Before Supper And Before We Went To Services On Sundays. My Grandmother Would Read The Bible To Me, And My Grandfather Would Pray. We Even Had Devotions Before Going To Pick Cotton In The Fields. Prayer And The Bible, Became A Part Of My Everyday Thoughts And Beliefs. I Learned To Put My Trust In God And To Seek Him As My Strength.
