Excerpt From: Can’t Break Me: How I Shifted My Mindset and Overcame the Odds
My brother Charles Washington, one year my junior, went to prison for attempted murder my first year at Bowdoin College. He finished his sentence, but as of this writing he is back in the system. It blows my mind that we are only one year apart and grew up in the same household yet ended up on such different paths.

Jesse Jackson: Prophet of America's Possibility
I remember one day when we were with Jesse on the campaign, he took us to this restaurant. And the lady there said, “It’s Reverend Jackson. Let me give you a free meal.” He said, “No, no.” And he pointed to a guy outside. He said, “If you want to give a free meal, give it to him.” - Rev. William Barber
