This is not about what party you're part of. This is about right and wrong, ... the conscience of this nation.
Al Sharpton
I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

Al Sharpton
While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us.
Al Sharpton
The dream was not to put one black family in the White House, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house.
Al Sharpton
I've never seen a prosecutor hold a press conference to discredit the victim.
Al Sharpton
As a Baptist minister, I don't have the right to impose my views on anyone else. If committed gay and lesbian couples want to marry, that is their business none of us should stand in their way
Al Sharpton
When you're dealing with boycotts, you don't need everyone. You just need enough to be effective.
Al Sharpton
How do you make things fair?
Al Sharpton
But we believed if we kept on working, if we kept on marching, if we kept on voting, if we kept on believing, we would make America beautiful for everybody.
Al Sharpton
My ordination in the Church of God in Christ was at age 9, and I later became a Baptist minister, which I am today.
