Everyone keeps talking about being concerned about the consumers' rights. But I feel the children's rights are paramount.

The community needs to perpetuate his legacy. And we need to fill his seat with someone who has the same advocacy and vision.

He was a very serious-minded guy. That's how we got together. We were talking about the political problems in New York, the Al Capone-type stuff, and we formed the Detective Scouts of Washington Heights. We wanted to become junior prosecutors. We were 8.

Minister Farrakhan's progress means he's gone from talking the talk to walking the walk for our rights. This is a big victory for the community.

We look forward to continued work with the minister and the Millions More Movement.

I see this guy on television all the time talking about shareholder rights, and then we get this kind of stuff.
