The reward for playing jazz is playing jazz.

If you come together with a mission, and it’s grounded with love and a sense of community, you can make the impossible possible.

Our struggle is a struggle to redeem the soul of America. It’s not a struggle that lasts for a few days, a few weeks, a few months, or a few years. It is the struggle of a lifetime, more than one lifetime.

Peace cannot exist where justice is not served.

You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people.

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.
