“Maybe every black kid can think back to the day when the whole world changed and they had to have who they were and why that was different explained to them. That was one sad day, and we need to dedicate ourselves to removing that day from every black kid’s calendar forever.”

“People, I just want to say, you know, can we all get along? Can we get along? Can we stop making it, making it horrible for the older people and the kids? … It’s just not right. It’s not right. It’s not, it’s not going to change anything. [ …] Please, we can get along here. We all can get along. I mean, we’re all stuck here for a while. Let’s try to work it out. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to beat it. Let’s try to work it out. — Rodney King, appeal for calm after people use the verdict in the police brutality trial to spark the 1992 L.A. riots.”
