More quotes by Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton
I've never seen an effective boycott that didn't work.
Al Sharpton

Al Sharpton
I always go by instinct and then wrestle with where by instinct brought me.
Al Sharpton
I've never done anything else in my life other than preach and be an activist. Way before I was known.
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
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
I've seen too much in life to give up.
Al Sharpton
Let me just say that we are under the consent decree. There are people in our city [Baltimore] along with the police department and advocates who believe that this is absolutely the right thing to do.
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
If you play the theatrics too much, you get in the way of your own cause.
Al Sharpton
I think everybody understood what happened, why this consent decree came about after the Freddie Gray situation. There was tension on both sides.
Al Sharpton
We just have to hope and pray that this man [Donald Trump] is changed in terms of how he views the world community.
Al Sharpton
What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?
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.
Al Sharpton
