“A Klan member is not stamped from a standard cookie cutter. They come from all walks of life and various education levels and environmental situations which have led to their decision to join the Klan. The one common denominator that all share is lack of exposure to others who may not look like them or believe as they do.”

“Invite your enemies to sit down and join you. One small thing you say might give them food for though, and you will learn.”

“When was 'again?' Was it back when I was drinking from a separate water fountain? Was it when I couldn't eat in that restaurant over there?... 'Make America Great Again' - before I had equality?”

“The most important thing I learned is that when you are actively learning about someone else you are passively teaching them about yourself.”

“At the end, ignorance is the source of biases. If we cure that, there's nothing to fear and hate.”

“If you spend five minutes with your worst enemy - it doesn't have to be about race, it could be about anything... you will find that you both have something in common. As you build upon those commonalities, you're forming a relationship and as you build about that relationship, you're forming a friendship.”

“Always keep the lines of communication open with your adversaries.”
