-MARTIN LUTHER KING III
"Rev. has been about Black Lives Matter from the jump, also at a time when it was not the most popular or hip thing to be about. I look forward, standing next to him, to see, to witness this new energy, this new day that is about to be in these United States of America." -SPIKE LEE
"This man is a gift from God to the world. This book is a gift from Al Sharpton to us. Let's appreciate them both." -MICHAEL ERIC DYSON

With over 40 years of experience as a community leader, politician, minister and advocate, the Rev. Al Sharpton is one of America's most-renowned civil rights leaders.
