No Person Has The Right To Rain

It Really Takes A Community To Raise Children, No Matter How Much Money One Has. Nobody Can Do It Well Alone. And It's The Bedrock Security Of Community That We And Our Children Need.

The Outside World Told Black Kids When I Was Growing Up That We Weren't Worth Anything. But Our Parents Said It Wasn't So, And Our Churches And Our Schoolteachers Said It Wasn't So. They Believed In Us, And We, Therefore, Believed In Ourselves.

I Never Thought I Was Breaking A Glass Ceiling. I Just Had To Do What I Had To Do, And It Never Occurred To Me Not To.

I'm Sure I Am Impatient Sometimes. I Sure Do Get Angry Sometimes. I Think It's Outrageous How Hard It Is To Get This Country To Feed Its Children And To Take Care Of Its Children, To Give Them A Decent Education.

Be Real. Try To Do What You Say, Say What You Mean, And Be What You Seem.
