Every day I wear my Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth medallions around my neck. When I think I'm having a bad day, I try to think about their day, and I get up.

Amidst protestations of 'Who can be against the children?' too few people are FOR children when it really matters.

It was very clear to me in 1965, in Mississippi, that, as a lawyer, I could get people into schools, desegregate the schools, but if they were kicked off the plantations - and if they didn't have food, didn't have jobs, didn't have health care, didn't have the means to exercise those civil rights, we were not going to have success.

The future which we hold in trust for our own children will be shaped by our fairness to other people's children.

This act will leave a moral blot on his presidency

Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.

I hope that people of all faiths will start looking for our too-invisible children who are crying out for help.
