Donald Trump has made it clear that certainly over the last few years that President [Barack] Obama was born in Hawaii.

I'm gonna say that I have followed every presidential campaign since the campaign of President [John F.] Kennedy in 1960.

I've said it in the past and I'll say it again today: the vote is precious; it's almost sacred.

We will stand up for what is right, for what is fair and what is just. Health care is a right and not a privilege.

We have come a long way in America because of Martin Luther King, Jr. He led a disciplined, nonviolent revolution under the rule of law, a revolution of values, a revolution of ideas. We've come a long way, but we still have a distance to go before all of our citizens embrace the idea of a truly interracial democracy, what I like to call the Beloved Community, a nation at peace with itself.

I believe that teachers - whether in elementary schools, at the secondary level, or at colleges and universities - every teacher deserves the Nobel Peace Prize just for maintaining order in our schools!

The book Martin Luther King and the Montgomery Story, I read it when I was about 17-and-a-half or 18. It changed my life.
