I have the right to express myself. Once we get through expressing, do we really move forward in society.

But resist we much. We must and we will much about that be committed.

Getting Democrats organized is like herding cats.

We`re going to continue to move forward and fight. I just think that, unfortunately, the president-elect [Donald Trump] has chosen to address every issue.

One of the things that`s offensive is saying in the fifth district there`s nothing going on. This is a very vast district. The congressman happens to represent me. And while there are always more things that we can do in every community, this is a very diverse district with all kinds of wonderful things.

We have defeated Jim Crow, but now we have to deal with his son, James Crow Jr., esquire.

I've never seen an effective boycott that didn't work.
