Tavis Smiley America Quotations

We believe that when you make Black America better - you make all of America better.

To be clear, the gap between the have gots and the have nots is widening. In this most multicultural, multiracial, multiethnic America ever, that concerns me.

I thought our community should have a deep dialogue to make black America better. I believe if we make black America better, we make all of America better.

This is not a skill problem, this is a will problem. Does America have the will to make education a priority? We know the things that work. Why don't we scale up those things that do work.

This whole notion of a post racial America was nonsense from the very beginning. It was a bad idea, a bad notion, a bad formulation when it was first raised.

I believe if we make black America better, we make all of America better.
