If we became students of Malcolm X, we would not have young black men out there killing each other like they're killing each other now. Young black men would not be impregnating young black women at the rate going on now. We'd not have the drugs we have now, or the alcoholism.

I am hopeful about any future for whites in this country, but not entirely optimistic.

I want to influence the younger generation to know that we have the ability to make a change and bring us all together. Black Lives Matter.

And when the time is right, I hope that African Americans will again look to the party of emancipation, civil liberty, and individual freedom.

What we hope to achieve is a society that doesn't value a white man because he's a white man, but also doesn't value a woman because she's a woman, or a black because he's a black.

We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.

Malcolm X was the first political person in this country that I really identified with. If he had lived and not been purged, I probably would have joined the Muslims.

It's a new world that's very, very difficult to make sense of. But we have a new hope. We have a new man. America has now elected its first openly black President.
