Martin Luther King was not a Marxist or a communist, but his radical love leads him to put poor and working people at the center.

The blues aren’t pessimistic. We’re prisoners of hope but we tell the truth and the truth is dark.

And when I talk about love, I'm talking about something that's great, though, brother. I'm talking about something that will sustain you.

We want an economic team, Paul Krugman and Robert Kuttner, Joseph Steiglitz's people and others, who say, you know what? We're sophisticated economists but we're concerned about poor and working people.

I always felt called to serve, to empower and ennoble as many people as I could, teaching, truth-telling, exposing lies, bearing witness, and being willing to live and die for something bigger than yourself.

It's impossible to translate Wall Street greed into one or two demands.

We will not allow this day of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial to go without somebody going to jail.
