When you've been raised in a home of love, and for your loved one to be taken away from you through violence, a lot of emotions go through your mind.

My siblings and I were watching the evening news and we saw it flashed across the screen that our father had been shot... we just knew that something terrible had happened.

Many feel that in today's climate some of those in authority are exercising, in effect, a self-serving, 'ends justify the means' mindset as well, and that, in turn, empowers them to do the same.

My father's approach to the most brutal and unambiguous social injustices during the civil rights struggle was rooted in nonviolence as a morally and tactically correct response.

Human life is important and it feels like there is not a concern in communities of color. Very frustrated, but we will never give up and lose hope and change our system.

That's why I don't generally talk about endorsements because I don't believe we have to tell people who to vote for.

I just think we have to create the climate so that people will come out on election day and vote.

I had the opportunity with my brother to travel with my father probably seven or eight times. The last experience was in 1967, just a few months before he was killed.

The reality is what Black Lives Matter are raising as an issue is an issue.

There are times when you need a strategic quarterback who has a proven record, and certainly, Colin Kaepernick is one of those.
