[After spending six weeks in prison in Mississippi for civil rights activism] I was very much in demand as a speaker, because that was just as things were really taking off. And though I hated public speaking, I spoke so often publicly that I went from rehearsing practically in front of a mirror every word that I was going to say and trying to memorize it to driving some place that I was going to speak and thinking on the way over, well, what will I say tonight. I got very comfortable with it because I did it a lot.
