I grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.

If O.J. had been accused of killing his black wife, you would not have seen the same passion stirred up.

As a kid who grew up chubby, I just marveled at the fact that I could be thin.

The dream was not to put one black family in the White House, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house.

I grew up in a city, I'm a city person - I go on holiday and I'm bored.

In Ferguson, there are witnesses who say Brown had his hands up when he was shot. That should be enough probable cause to go to trial to then determine if Officer Wilson is guilty or not. It is at trial that he can then defend himself and his attorneys can present their own witnesses and their own defense.
