Body with Your Mind

The Autobiography of Martin Luther King Jr. is a book based on Dr. King’s speeches and writings. “I went to high school on the other side of town,” he once said, “to the Booker T. Washington High School. I had to get the bus in what was known as the Fourth Ward and ride over to the West Side. In those days, rigid patterns of segregation existed on the buses so that Negroes had to sit in the backs of buses…I would end up having to go to the back of that bus with my body; but every time I got on that bus, I left my mind up on the front seat. And I said to myself, ‘One of these days, I’m going to put my body up there where my mind is.’”
