Somehow, we had to change the laws. And we had to get
            enough white people on our side to be able to succeed.
            I had no idea when I refused to give up my seat on that
            Montgomery bus that my small action would help put an end
            to the segregation laws in the South. I only knew that I was
            tired of being pushed around. I was a regular person, just
            as good as anybody else. There had been a few times in my
            life when I had been treated by white people like a regular
            person, so I knew what it felt like. It was time that other
            white people started treating me that way.
