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.

I truly believe that one day we will get there, we will arrive. And if we do it right in America, maybe, just maybe, we can serve as a model for the rest of the world.

Races don't fall in love, genders don't fall in love: Individuals fall in love. We all should be free to marry the person that we love.

John Lewis stood up and said in an interview that Donald Trump was not a legitimate president. It's insanity.

To question the legitimacy of the next United States president, you know, and you're worried about a tweet that says, hey, why don't you get back to work instead of questioning my legitimacy? Too bad.

But you have to have hope. You have to be optimistic in order to continue to move forward.

When people tell me nothing has changed, I say come walk in my shoes and I will show you change.
