A thought for the day: Whenever people ask me: 'Why didn't you get up when the bus driver asked you?' I say, 'It felt as though Harriet Tubman's hands were pushing me down on one shoulder and Sojourner Truth's hands were pushing me down on the other shoulder. I felt inspired by these women because my teacher taught us about them in so much detail.' -- American civil rights activist Claudette Colvin
