Everything I learned about the Great Depression was from a college textbook.

I have suffered as much as Martin Luther King. Only I didn't get the bullet. And I would have taken the bullet if I could have.

I wanted to show that Martin Luther King was simply a human being, not a god, not a saint.

I am not going to say I have been a saint. I have not been a perfect man. None is perfect but the Father, which is in Heaven.

Bring on your tear gas, bring on your grenades, your new supplies of Mace, your state troopers and even your national guards. But let the record show we ain't going to be turned around.

Christians should be ready for a change because Jesus was the greatest changer in history.

History will treat me right.
