Because during her lifetime, if you can imagine, you do this amazing thing, you're alive and you're talking about your civil rights activism, and a story emerges in which somebody is telling the world that you were old and you had tired feet and you just were an accidental activist, not that you had been activist by then for 20 years, not that the boycott had been planned for months, not that you were not even the first or the second or even the third woman to be arrested for doing that.
Porque, durante a vida dela como imaginam, fazemos esta coisa espantosa. Estamos vivos e falamos do ativismo pelos direitos civis e surge uma história em que alguém diz ao mundo que éramos velhos e tínhamos os pés doridos e fomos apenas ativistas por acaso e não um ativista durante 20 anos, nem que o boicote tivesse sido planeado durante meses, nem que nem sequer fomos a primeira, a segunda ou mesmo a terceira mulher a sermos presos por fazer isso.
