America's 'social contract' is equal opportunity... yet we have failed in achieving that seminal goal.
At the end of the day, I'm really proud of the work I did to help kids get an equal opportunity, and a lot of them have.
What's going on in the Senate is kind of a politics of escalation. We're getting sort of like the Mideast: pay back everybody when you're in charge.

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men's skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact.
