Diane Nash Quote

The movement had a way of reaching inside me and bringing out things that I never knew were there. Like courage, and love for people. It was a real experience to be seeing a group of people who would put their bodies between you and danger. And to love people that you work with enough that you would put your body between them and danger.

From Juan Williams, Eyes on the Prize: America's Civil Rights Years, 1954-1965 (1987)
