it s a voice that reminds me of my own mother. what i will tell you, life for me ain t been no crystal stair. it s tax in an, and splinters, and boards torn up, and places with no carpet on the floor, there. but all the time, i ve been climbing on, and reaching landings, and turning corners. and sometimes, going in the dark, where there ain t been no light. so, don t you turn back, don t you sit down on the steps, because you find it s kind of hard. don t you fall now, for i and still go in honey, i m still climbing. and life for me ain t been no crystal stair. i thought about the freedom riders, burned out houses and bombed out homes. i thought about all of those before us, and all that they had endured. and i knew that i couldn t stop. i thought about our daughter, all our children, who now have fewer rights than their parents at their age, fewer rights than their parents were promised, and that their grandparents fought for. and i knew that i couldn t stop climbing.
