Not only are we now getting convictions of police on misconduct, but actually for the conspiracy. This is a real blow to the blue wall of silence. |
Rosa Parks is in history because she made this nation deal with changing the laws and policies of this nation unlike anybody else. |
She was truly the first lady of the human rights movement. The only thing worse than losing her is if we never had her. |

The civil rights movement and the peace movement was not made from big names ... and I wanted to come on the anniversary with ordinary people that are doing what I think Dr. King would have wanted us to do today. |
The real loser is Rudy Giuliani, ... We proved how out of touch he is with the voters of New York. The issues of unemployment, police brutality and the schools not working are on the front burner. You can run, Rudy, but you can't hide. |
This is no time for bowing and scraping. This is no time for buck dancing and genuflecting. Our people are dying in Iraq, are being drowned in New Orleans, and you're going to sit around scared? |
This is not about what party you're part of. This is about right and wrong, ... the conscience of this nation. |

We didn't come to lead a march. We came to follow the young people leading it. |
We have defeated Jim Crow, but now we have to deal with his son, James Crow Jr., esquire. |
We hope to appeal to all sides to try and have some type of truce or cease-fire. We are not on either side. We are on the side of getting help for the children -- medical care as well for those that have been displaced. |
