Black people don't have an accurate idea of their history, which has been either suppressed or distorted.

I'm not going to disappear.

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

I rooted for the Dodgers when they were in Brooklyn.

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.

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

Your best athletes might give basketball a try just when they think, geez, this might be something that pays off for me in the end.
