“Learn from these monuments, whether we like them or not, and put them in their context.”

We have tolerance, respect, and equality in our written laws but not in the hearts of some of our people.

Racism is a form of hate. We pass it on to our young people. When we do that, we are robbing children of their innocence.

Now that I’m a parent, I know that my parents were incredibly brave.

I pray for my enemies, that God would forgive them.

Evil looks like you and I. I know what evil looks like, and I know that it comes in all shades and colors.

Kids come into the world with clean hearts, fresh starts.

My mother and our pastor always said you have to pray for your enemies and people who do you wrong, and that’s what I did.

Love is Love. Better to Love than Hate!!!

Evil isn’t prejudiced. It doesn’t care what you look like; it just wants a place to rest. It’s up to you whether you give it that place.

When I think about our babies today and them not being safe in school, I think that should be the next civil rights movement, you know, is to ban the assault weapons so that our babies can be safe.

A lot of my strength came from my upbringing.

Bravery knows no age or gender.

Racism is a grown-up disease, and we should stop using our kids to spread it.

Our elders said back then that if Black folks really wanted to see Change, they had to step up to the plate and do it themselves. Somebody has to be First. Will that be you?

Today and Everyday I stand against Injustice and in solidarity with our Asian, Asian-American & Pacific Islander Brothers and Sisters.

We all have a common enemy, and it is evil.

Women with pasts interest men because they hope history will repeat itself.

It is not the kings and generals that make history, but the masses of the people.

Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world’s original sin. If the cave-man had known how to laugh, History would have been different.

Men make their own history, but they do not make it as they please; they do not make it under self-selected circumstances, but under circumstances existing already, given and transmitted from the past.

If you want to make history, you have to do historic things.

Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good.

Man makes his own history, but he does not make it out of the whole cloth; he does not make it out of conditions chosen by himself, but out of such as he finds close at hand.

Cultures aren’t so much planned as they evolve from that early set of people.
