I think the legacy of the civil rights movement is that now whites are more open to being represented by people of color or people who are women or, again, non-traditional candidates.

I'm a child of the Civil Rights Movement.

The civil rights movement wasn't easy for anybody.

The really important victory of the civil rights movement was that it made racism unpopular, whereas a generation ago at the turn of the last century, you had to embrace racism to get elected to anything.

When you live in the South, you're constantly part of the civil rights movement.

I think that the thing that we learned back in the day of the civil rights movement is that you do have to keep on keeping on.
