"We're now in a position where we must come together again. We must fight the forces of evil that are trying to destroy us. The one thing that I do know, and the one message that I try to exude everywhere I go, is that the change has already happened. We don't have any time for fear. Toni Morrison says, this is precisely the time when artists go to work. There's no need for fear. There's no room for silence. We speak, we write, we do language. This is how civilizations heal."
 

"I'm an artist," Porter added. "The only way I know how to do it is through my art. I am grateful that I can do it through my art.

I am grateful that the people are receiving that, that you are receiving what it is that I'm trying to do. Coming from the civil rights movement, you know, there's a song called 'A Change Is Gonna Come.' I love that song, but the change came, and the change went. What are we gonna do now?"

"It's time for all of us to come together and figure out what 'going high' looks like in this new world order. It is not 1963. We cannot use the same tactics. I am not a politician, so I don't know what the answer is. But it's not what we're doing now. It's time to re-engage. It's time to pay attention again. It's time to get in these streets again. This is not a parade, it's a march. That's what it was when we started. This march is political."
