I've seen enough things to know that if you just keep on going, if you turn the corner, the sun will be shining.

From Al Sharpton

I always beat the sun up in the morning. It's the secret to why I'm double trouble.

From Al Sharpton

One of the reasons I get so much joy out of my own children's childhoods is that I'm having my first childhood myself.

From Al Sharpton

If you can get the proper definition of trouble, then we can find out who the real troublemakers are.

From Al Sharpton

James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had.

From Al Sharpton

The resignation of Attorney General Eric Holder is met with both pride and disappointment by the Civil Rights community. We are proud that he has been the best Attorney General on Civil Rights in U.S. history and disappointed because he leaves at a critical time when we need his continued diligence most.

From Al Sharpton

Demonstrations must be dignified and nonviolent, as the overwhelming protests in Ferguson and Staten Island have been. Do not confuse anarchists who don't want the system to work and thugs who want to exploit a situation with the majority who from day one have operated with impeccable nonviolence and clear goals.

From Al Sharpton

From Al Sharpton

All women, regardless of her economic status or racial background, have a right to vote, and no politician or regressive law should prevent her from doing so.

From Al Sharpton
