Al Sharpton
America can't work for only some people and become a dream for all people. It has to work for everyone. And even though everyone might not end up at the same place, if everyone starts with the same beginning, then that's the dream fulfilled. We all don't have the same abilities, but we should have the same opportunities.

Al Sharpton
I think that any time you look at the fact that boycotts have historically led to change, whatever temporary inconvenience there may be, it in the long run leads toward, in my opinion, a better change for everybody.
Al Sharpton
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Al Sharpton
We blacks had problems in the '60s and we solved them by marching. We've still got problems - let's march.
Al Sharpton
People in the age of [President] Obama don't dress like they did in the age of [Lyndon] Johnson. That's for sure.
Al Sharpton
I wanted to say to Governor Dean, don't be hard on yourself about hooting and hollering. If I had spent the money you did and got 18 percent, I'd still be in Iowa hooting and hollering.
Al Sharpton
I do believe that the party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkey clothes.
Al Sharpton
So (if) some cracker come and tell you 'Well, my mother and father blood go back to the Mayflower,' you better hold your pocket. That ain't nothing to be proud of. That means their forefathers was crooks.
