“This award is not for me. This is for the real organizers all over the country, the activists³, the civil rightsattorneys, the struggling parents, the families, the teachers, the students that are realizing that a system built to divide and impoverish⁴ and destroy us cannot stand if we do."

“这个奖不是给我一个人的，而是颁给遍布全国那些真正的组织者、活动家、民权律师、苦苦奋斗的父母、家庭、老师以及学生，他们都意识到了，如果我们站起来，那么一个为了分裂，让我们贫困，摧毁我们的系统就无法运作。”

“我们知道警察，每一天，他们都会想方设法使局势降级、解除武器、不杀白人。因此接下来，我们想要拥有同样的权利和公平，否则我们将重组他们与我们的职责。”
