What drew me to both study and activism was the formative experience of the civil rights movement.

I'm a child of the Civil Rights Movement.

The civil rights movement wasn't easy for anybody.

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

The unsung heroes of the civil rights movement were always the wives and the mothers.

The question is not if we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. The nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.
