Mother Pollard was one of the participants in the Montgomery Bus Boycott. Martin Luther King Jr. recounted in his writings[1] that after several weeks of walking to her destinations rather than take the bus, Mother Pollard was asked if she was tired, to which she replied, "My feets is weary, but my soul is rested."[2]
