Cornel West

I think there are some in the Democratic Party - not all - but I think there are some people in the Democratic Party that think that the immigration issue is more valuable to them unsolved.

This is what the democratic process is like.
Aung San Suu Kyi

Game, Mean, Before

War, Judge, Human

Henry Louis Gates

Doubt, Different, Whole
