I think African-Americans are certainly tired of being stereotyped as responsible for the majority of crime in American society.

serve as the steward of the rights, liberties and freedoms of all Americans for generations to come.

Over 68,000 residents participated in federal aid in 2004. Most of them were the working poor, majority African American, holding jobs in hospitality and retail.

Overall, maybe 40 African-Americans become licensed in any given year. The numbers of African-American women (who number 145 nationally) are bound to continue the most dramatic growth because women now represent half of the student body in architecture schools.

We have Americans, Latin, African-American, Jamaican. We have a little bit of everything. There's a lot of people that like soccer and they come and play here.

You certainly like to see more African-Americans out there working in mathematics. I'm certainly happy to have the honor. It's nice to know your work is taken seriously.
