I Would Say To A Young Person:

When I Speak To Students About The Civil Rights Movement, I Say That It Is Impossible To Stop A Determined Movement That Is Captivating The American Consciousness. I Think The Candidacy Of Sen. Obama Represents The Beginning Of A New Movement In American Political History That Began In The Hearts And Minds Of The People Of This Nation. And I Want To Be On The Side Of The People, On The Side Of The Spirit Of History.

I Think, In Fact, I Think President [barack] Obama Could Step Up.

I Think Putting The United States Down Across The World Is Not Something That A Responsible Person Does.

The Government, Both State And Federal, Has A Duty To Be Reasonable And Accommodating.

My Parents Told Me In The Very Beginning As A Young Child When I Raised The Question About Segregation And Racial Discrimination, They Told Me Not To Get In The Way, Not To Get In Trouble, Not To Make Any Noise.
