"Part of my understanding of race is that it's more of a social construct than a biological reality."

"You're not sort of measuring on a day-to-day basis, 'Okay, is what you're doing a white thing, or is it a black thing?'"

"The struggle for racial equality in America has been the essential catalyst for America's growth and development."

"By the time I'm off to law school, I'm pretty formed at that point."
