To be in a situation where you have no rights whatsoever is something I wish everybody could experience. People's attitudes would change. It would be a better place.

If we're going to change the laws let's change them in ways which makes it easier to catch criminals and yet at the same time protect the Second Amendment rights of our law-abiding citizens.

I believe that the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century.

The meek shall inherit the Earth but not its mineral rights.

Among the natural rights of the colonists are these: First a right to life secondly to liberty and thirdly to property together with the right to defend them in the best manner they can.

We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community.

We start 'The Butler' in June and that's incredibly exciting for me because I get to work with the amazing Forest Whitaker again. It's a phenomenal script and a great great role - I play his son. Oprah Winfrey is his wife and my mother. My character is a radical civil rights activist.

Half a century ago the amazing courage of Rosa Parks the visionary leadership of Martin Luther King and the inspirational actions of the civil rights movement led politicians to write equality into the law and make real the promise of America for all her citizens.

It proved easier to buy the farm to get the mineral rights than to buy the coal rights alone.

I am aware that in presenting myself as the advocate of the Indians and their rights I shall stand very much alone.
