Direct quotation:Paraphrasing: Direct quotation:

Colvin recalled that, "After the other students got up, there were three empty seats in my row, but that white woman still wouldn't sit down-not even across the aisle from me. That was the whole point of the segregation rules-it was all symbolic-blacks had to be behind whites. If she sat down in the same row as me, it meant I was as good as her."
