I have to say I have an incredible musical education because of my father.

Ignorance is not something that lends itself to a meaningful discussion.

I have been coaching recently. I coached high school basketball in Arizona, and I hope that more opportunities become available.

I would suggest that teachers show their students concrete examples of the negative effects of the actions that gangsta rappers glorify.

I feel that there has been progress made since I was a boy on matters of race, but we have a long way to go.

My high school had been a renovated old hospital, so when I first came to the UCLA campus in the spring of 1965, I was immediately impressed by the classic northern Italian architecture that was mixed with futuristic ultra-modern buildings. The classic architecture gave it the heft of old wisdom while the modernistic look inspired hope for the future.

For me, the bold jazz of John Coltrane and Miles Davis reflected the bold attitude in African-Americans finding their political identity and voice.
