We come to Selma to be renewed. We come to be inspired. We come to be reminded that we must do the work that justice and equality calls us to do.
From John Lewis
There are still forces in America that want to divide us along racial lines, religious lines, sex, class. But we've come too far; we've made too much progress to stop or to pull back. We must go forward. And I believe we will get there.
What 'March' is saying is that it doesn't matter whether we are black or white, Latino or Asian. It doesn't matter whether we are straight or gay.
We are one people with one family. We all live in the same house... and through books, through information, we must find a way to say to people that we must lay down the burden of hate. For hate is too heavy a burden to bear.
It's a shame and a disgrace that so few people take part in the political process.
The vote is the most powerful nonviolent tool we have.
You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people.
I couldn't say no to A. Philip Randolph and no to Martin Luther King, Jr. These two men, I loved them, I admired them, and they were my heroes.
Sometimes I hear people saying, 'Nothing has changed.' Come and walk in my shoes.
Too many of us still believe our differences define us.
