One of the things when we’re approaching Martin Luther King, and one of the deadly sins in our country is that loud voice of silence, where people, good people sit on the sideline and allow those who are promoting hate, promoting untruths to go unchallenged.
Lawrence speaks about the danger of silence in the face of hate and the importance of civic engagement.

I wish to God that when we get in our arrogant position of dictating through government, that we have respect for women
If I hear another hypocrite stand up and say 'my thoughts and prayers' while parents are grieving, and standing, and bearing children.
My colleague on the other side used a term that I hear frequently when we start talking about gun violence in America, and he said, 'my God-given right.'
I find it ironic that my colleagues on the other side keep talking about giving the states the right to choose about abortion, but you want to take their right to choose away from a woman.
