With social media people can see the whole truth and not just a one-sided view. The technology which we are now blessed to have will play a big a part.

All I did was stand there with a fist in the air, It was a cry for freedom. And now people are beginning to throw a right fist up and throw it up for different reasons, but now they have the freedom to do it.

I would be disappointed if I see something and think that someone else told them to do it, It has to come from their heart to do it for the people.

A fist is a fist. It resonates throughout the world. It means power, pride and faith. It was my cry for freedom in 1968.

Change is coming, and change is coming in a way that it should have happened a long time ago. We are going into an era where the world will be changed because there will be more people with more to say.
