en It's a tough cookie. We certainly talk about it. We're in such a different position. We don't fit. We're more comfortable than 90% of citizens here. I'm a role model. I'm admired by blacks, whites, everyone. We have the best jobs ever. So we're not the right people to protest or say anything. But we feel for these people. We were there where they are, and we know what they went through.

en We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own.

en I didn't mean to be a role model. I just speak my truth. I guess speaking from your heart really creates a huge impact, and if I can encourage people to do that, then I would love to be a role model. If I could encourage people to use their voices loudly, then that's my reward.

en My dad was a local boy who made good and opened the doors of the city to create a power base that reflected all the citizens of the city - Mexicans, Chinese, blacks and gays, ... They never held office and my dad was elected by those people and gave them a voice. He said we must fight for the rights of people who can't fight for themselves. That is the role of a democracy. That's what my dad did. He succeeded because of it, and he died for it.

en There are people all over the place. Kids and adults. Men and women. It's been really cool.

en I didn't really have any. I think that's why I feel so weird or feel so surprised at this inspirational role model. I never had anybody that I was in awe of. I don't know why.
