Taiwan is a free, democratic and liberal nation, so the government would not issue a mask ban, but the government would not tolerate masked thugs, such as the man who tossed red paint on Hong Kong singer and rights advocate Denise Ho on the sidelines of a rally last month. View quote

My wife once said that one of her great ambitions was to walk down the streets of Hong Kong with her children. So we all went to Asia on one occasion.

We start from scratch, every generation. History does not bend inevitably toward justice, or freedom, or decency, or even stability. History doesn't do that in Hong Kong, or in Moscow, or in Washington or New York City or Los Angeles. History goes where we push it. And if we don't push, someone else will. View quote

Service to many leads to greatness-great respect, great satisfaction. Success is not having to wait until someone goes to Hong Kong before you get a camera. (Jim Rohn)
It would be another two decades before I came upon the words that made me think I had a story to tell-the opening words of Maxine Hong Kingston's The Woman Warrior: "You must not tell anyone,” my mother said, "what I am about to tell you.” The immigrant mother's prohibition to her daughter reminded me of my own mother's warning about spreading "family secrets.” In the face of California's fame for blatancy-in the face of pervasive light, ingenuousness, glass-and-aluminum housing, bikinis, billboards-Mrs. Hong recommended concealment.

You know perfectly well there have been attacks on the rule of law, on the independence of the judiciary; abductions around Hong Kong streets; suggestions that Hong Kong's autonomy needs to be curtailed in the future; suggestions that the autonomy of Hong Kong's tremendous universities is something that has to be looked at again; there is a sense that free speech is under threat.

The thing is, the regime makes it very hard for people to be interested. If you are dedicated to finding out the truth, you can. There are ways to climb the firewall. You can buy banned books in Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is more... It is the risk associated with it that puts people off wanting to think about it. View quote

Recently, John and I got to go to Selma and perform "Glory” on the same bridge that Dr. King and the people of the civil rights movement marched on 50 years ago. This bridge was once a landmark of a divided nation, but now is a symbol for change. The spirit of this bridge transcends race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and social status. The spirit of this bridge connects the kid from the South Side of Chicago, dreaming of a better life, to those in France standing up for their freedom of expression, to the people in Hong Kong protesting for democracy. This bridge was built on hope, welded with compassion, and elevated by love for all human beings. View quote
