I grew up in a religious environment, and I'm proud of it.

The myths that are created about the South, about the way we grew up, about black people, are wrong.

You didn't think of angels as white or black. They were angels.

It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I'm supposed to think.

To define each of us by our race is nothing short of a denial of our humanity.

I agree with the (Supreme Court's) holding that racial discrimination in higher education admissions will be illegal in 25 years. They are illegal now.

It takes a person with a mission to succeed.
