I had just won a speech competition.

My speech was about being fair to all people.

I was so excited.

Then, on the bus ride home, a few white people got on board.

You need to give up your seats to the whites.

At first, I stayed put.

It didn't seem fair.

But my teacher convinced me to move.

We spent the rest of the ride standing and getting tossed in every direction.

It was the angriest I have ever been.

Every day, this is what life was like.

Black people were treated terribly.

The only question was...

What could I do about it?

At the age of 15, I started college.

By 19, I became a minister and entered seminary school to study religion.

Over those years, I read the works of Henry David Thoreau and Mahatma Gandhi.

Thoreau taught me about civil disobedience, how an evil system could be changed without violence.

Gandhi opened my mind to the power of love.

Nonviolent resistance?
