“I had been pushed around for all my life becau and felt at this moment that I couldn’t take it anymore. When I asked the policeman why we were had to be pushed around? He said he didn’t know. ‘The law is the law. You are under arrest.’ I acte I went will I didn’t resist.”—handwritten note from the Rosa Parks Archive, Library of Congress
I had been pushed around for
what? Because why? It doesn’t
matter. The pushing? It’s not
about her. When I asked
the policeman why we were,
we weren’t. We weren’t acting;
we had to be pushed around. Whether
I acted or not, went willingly
or not, it doesn’t matter.
The point is, to resist all this?
Start out with I didn’t resist.
