"What we, as African Americans, stood on was our faith." — Ruby Bridges

We keep racism alive. We pass it on to our children. I think that is very sad.

I think racism is something that is passed on and taught to our kids, and that's a shame.

Now that I'm a parent, I know that my parents were incredibly brave.

We'd get these boxes of clothing in the mail, and my mom would say, 'What makes you think all this is for you? You've got a sister right behind you.' So then I realized, we're all in this together. We have to help each other.
