More quotes by Al Sharpton
We're not willing to give black leaders second chances because, in most cases, we're not willing to give them first chances.
Al Sharpton
I just released an op-ed in the Washington Post that talks about providing an I.D. so that everyone can have an I.D., primarily, the social security card, a picture would be put on that card, and a president can certainly by executive order make this happen so that people will not need a special I.D. They`ll have one to vote.
Al Sharpton
My dad challenged every president from President [Dwight] Eisenhower and Vice President [Richard] Nixon to President [J.F] Kennedy, Vice President [Lindon] Johnson to President Johnson and Vice President [Hubert] Humphrey. It`s challenging the administrations to do the right thing.

If I use the media, even with tricks, to publicize a black youth being shot in the back in Teaneck, New Jersey... then I should be praised for it, and it's more of a comment on them than me that it would take tricks to make them cover the loss of life.
Al Sharpton
If Charlton Heston can have a constitutional right carry a rifle, why can't grandma have a constitutional right to health care?
Al Sharpton
It`s a difficult thing for a city to be sued by the department of justice and to be told that your police department is systematically failing to serve the people of the state or the city.
Al Sharpton
A war of words escalated between the president-elect and a civil rights icon. Donald Trump fired back at democratic Congressman John Lewis after Lewis said he did not see Trump as a legitimate president.
Al Sharpton
America has to make America become a better place for all Americans, and that`s all of us participating.
Al Sharpton
Better to die of something than to die in old age of nothing.
Al Sharpton
The GOP's freak out over Donald Trump. Just two months to Iowa, can anyone stop him?
Al Sharpton
I do believe that the party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkey clothes.
Al Sharpton
I grew up in the 1950s and '60s, when it was almost a holiday when a black act would go on Ed Sullivan.
Al Sharpton
They tried to say that being gay is a sin, and I said that adultery is a sin. Adultery is responsible for breaking up more marriages, but do we put that in the Constitution? It’s absurd.
Al Sharpton
I`m deeply concerned about Jeff Sessions, who has clearly expressed opposition to the use of consent decrees and has advanced a lot of this states` rights rhetoric.
Al Sharpton
People have a right to be nervous and fearful. They heard what Trump said during the campaign and are wondering if he`ll follow through on his promises.
