They hit me over and over again. Painful blows to my head, stomach, and legs. Each hit like another bee sting. I felt my bones cracking from the forceful blows. All white men beating me over not moving because a white person wanted the seat. It's my right to sit where I please.
“Move you stupid negro.” The white man commanded.
I thought who is this man to call me this. I am a peaceful woman who does no wrong to no one. I am no longer bowing down ,so I just sat there.
This time he yelled ,”you stupid dumb negro I said get outta this seat. Can you not hear?”
I sat there quiet and motionless like in the fields in the country. He struck me and broke my nose. I still sat there motionless my nose bleeding and eyes tearing up. He struck me again this time with such force he broke my eyes socket. I still sat motionless. …show more content…
I heard the running steps of about 5 men. The climbed upon the bus.
“What's the problem sir?”, they questioned the white man.

I still sat motionless. The only way I was moving was if they move me.
“1, 2, 3,” smack I felt the baton across the back of my head rendering me unconscious. I knew then I was in for it. They beat me with their batons until I was almost dead. They handcuffed me and threw me in the back of the police car. When we arrived at the station I was beat more ,but I knew this was the start of something
