I hope people become inspired to become active in their community. That's the important thing.

That's the history of the world. His story is told, hers isn't.

When you choose to give up your time and resources to participate in community work, that's what makes a leader.

Of course, we have leaders in the African American community as well that we've all worked with. One of the great rewards of being an activist is that you get to meet all these wonderful people. And there are many unsung heroes. There are so many out there that are good people that are working hard.

Especially as a teenager, I was always being racially profiled by the police. You just see all this injustice, and you want to do something about it, but you don't know how.
