Profound music leads us beyond language...to the dark roots of our scream and the celestial heights of our silence.

White supremacy is so deep-seated that it's hard to see it eliminated. But we could definitely push it back.

One of the things I love most about Martin Luther King is that he was willing to sacrifice his popularity in favor of his integrity. He was an honest man, and he would tell the truth.

To live is to wrestle with despair, yet never allow despair to have the last word.

Hey, you got something going here. I think we've got a chance for some progressive policy that actually focuses on poor and working people.

Anybody who takes Martin Luther King seriously has got to go beyond the standard understanding of who he was, has to connect those dots.

Our problem is that we don't have enough people in America, including black people, who are progressive and willing to sacrifice their popularity in order to tell the truth.
