Extract

“I was afraid. Some mornings I would get up and my mama would say ‘you know you don't have to do this thing.' My words to her were ‘yes ma'am I do’, because if they make me quit anyone who follows would have a rough road. I got to do this thing.” —Ulysses O. Bryant, Jr., the first African-American graduate of Savannah High School
