Many of us in Nashville accepted nonviolence as a way of life, a way of living, not simply as a technique or a tactic.

The lessons of nonviolence are universal. Not just for America.

I would like to think that we have made much more progress, that we've come much further, to have someone like a Donald Trump to emerge as the nominee of a major political party.

For a person [like John Lewis] that is a champion of voter rights to question whether or not Donald Trump legitimately won an election or not is an incredible position to take five days before an inauguration.

I think all Americans should be hopeful, and try to be optimistic.

This book [March], in my estimation, is a road map. It is a change agent. It is saying to people, "This is a way".

I would say to a young person: continue to study. Study what is taking place in your community, in your neighborhood, maybe at your school.
