 Parks said softly, "You may do that." After she refused to move, she was arrested and fined $10. Frustrated, not knowing what else to do, Blake responded: "Well, I'm going to have you arrested." The following quotes are taken from "Rosa Parks: I have learned over the years that when one's mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear." “The only tired I was, was tired of giving in.” “You must never be fearful about what you are doing when it is right.”
