I Think All Americans Should Be Hopeful,

We Have Come A Long Way In America Because Of Martin Luther King, Jr. He Led A Disciplined, Nonviolent Revolution Under The Rule Of Law, A Revolution Of Values, A Revolution Of Ideas. We've Come A Long Way, But We Still Have A Distance To Go Before All Of Our Citizens Embrace The Idea Of A Truly Interracial Democracy, What I Like To Call The Beloved Community, A Nation At Peace With Itself.

I'm Gonna Say That I Have Followed Every Presidential Campaign Since The Campaign Of President [john F.] Kennedy In 1960.

I Believe It Is My Obligation To Tell The Story Of The Civil Rights Movement To The Next Generation.

Today, All Across This Country There Are Going To Be Rallies Led By Democrats And Others To Fight Against The Devastating Impact Of Repeal Of The Affordable Care Act. 20 Million People Thrown Off Of Health Insurance, Prescription Drug Prices Raising For Seniors, Privatization Of Medicare: Devastation. And We've Got To Fight Back Against That.

The Government, Both State And Federal, Has A Duty To Be Reasonable And Accommodating.
