More quotes by Van Jones

Van Jones
I think that America could not become America until it dealt with the disenfranchisement of women and African Americans in the last century. It had to. America could not become America until it dealt with that. And did it deal with it perfectly? No. But it had to confront it.
Van Jones
Donald Trump's a great deal-maker with a lot of momentum and it will do a lot of damage to us. We are in grave peril and it's going to be terrible.
Van Jones

It's in that convergence of spiritual people becoming active and active people becoming spiritual that the hope of humanity now rests.
Van Jones
I think the African American community, the Latino community, the Native American communities have borne an unfair burden in the last century, and continue to.
