Henry Louis Gates

Time, Long, Black

The promise of America is one immigration policy for all who seek to enter our shores, whether they come from Mexico, Haiti or Canada, there must be one set of rules for everybody.

Al Sharpton

Fight, Before, America

What most people don't understand is that UFOs are on a cosmic tourist route. That's why they're always seen in Arizona, Scotland, and New Mexico.

Alice Cooper

Good, Understand, Play

Harvey Weinstein

Family, Care, Black

I was born in the U.S., my wife was born in Mexico and emigrated here when she was in college, and my daughters were born in New York City. That makes them passport-carrying, natural-born, eligible-to-run-for-president Americans. But they're also Mexicans and they like that just fine.
Jeffrey Kluger

Wife, Here, College

Barbara Kingsolver

Experience, Human, Living

A molcajete is a stone mortar and pestle from Mexico. They're great for grinding spices and making salsa and guacamole because they give everything a nice coarse and rustic feel. I've never collected anything, but I think I might start collecting these because each one is decorated differently.
Bobby Flay

Great, Nice, Give

Jeff Goodell

Question, Whether, Interest
