My first introduction to South Africa's struggle for freedom came when I was just 17. I had volunteered to speak in my mother's stead at a United Nations forum on South Africa because she was unable to attend on that occasion.

My mother and Ethel Kennedy became good friends and worked together on a number of causes they had shared with their husbands. They together co-chaired 'A Time to Remember' to mobilize a movement for gun control.

I don't know if you realize this, but anger is anger. It has no mind. It has no rationality. It's mad, and it just wants to destroy.

Don't be afraid of who sits in the White House. God can triumph over Trump.

Trump's election could be a blessing in disguise. This is the opportunity for America to correct itself.

My father literally fought his entire life to ensure the inclusion of all people because he understood that we were intertwined and connected together in humanity.

I know that the absence of my father in my life had its cost.

People have labeled me homophobic. If I was homophobic, I wouldn't have friends who are gay and lesbian, so that can't be true.

I spend a lot of time meditating, which is something that I don't think most people know about me.

Some of the aspects of my speaking style are inherited and come naturally to me. I didn't take classes, and I didn't do anything to hone my skills.

When I speak, I want to ensure that there is at least one person in the audience who leaves the room transformed.

Occasionally, in the afternoons, I catch a movie, watch football, go to Sunday brunch, or visit with family and friends.

Without my ministry, I would just be Martin Luther King's daughter. You know, when people call me that, it doesn't bother me anymore. I know I am not my father. I know I am me.

The more you resist something, the more aggressive it becomes.

If people want to criticize me, that's their issue.

I wrestled with anger from the age of sixteen. It's still one of my nemeses. I have to remember that the word of God says, 'Be slow to anger.'

One person cannot be blamed for years of problems as it relates to race in America. This is something that has been with us since the founding of this nation. I mean, we were founded with slaves.

Institutionalized racism has been with us pre-Obama, and it obviously will be with us post-Obama.

I think the most pressing issue in our community is probably a generational divide.

As you know, my father was for the inclusiveness and the betterment of society and the world. Certainly we recognize that there are diverse voices in our country, and people have the right of free speech. They have the right of choice, but again, it is our hope that when they choose, they choose to reflect those ideals that he taught us.

I believe that everyone, regardless of their beliefs, deserves the dignity of being called by their name.

When I think about some of the policies that we make in this country, the policies are so self-driven.

If I had to do it all over again, would I want my dad here? I would say no. Our world is in a better place because our father gave his life.

After acknowledging that most law enforcement personnel are fair-minded and do a difficult job, it only takes one exception to create a terrible tragedy.
