## Transcript

[ APPLAUSE ] Thank you. [ APPLAUSE ] Thank you so much. Please have a seat. Thank you. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] In giving freedom to the slaves We assure freedom to the free. That's what President Lincoln once wrote. Honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve. We condemn ourselves to shackles once more. If we fail to answer those who wonder if they're truly equals in their communities or in their justice systems or in a job interview [ BLANK_AUDIO ] we betray The efforts of the past if we fail to push back against bigotry in all its forms. [ APPLAUSE ] If we were to let cynicism consume us. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] And fear overwhelm us.

If we lost hope, for however slow, however incomplete, however harshly, loudly, rudely challenged that each point along our journey in America. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] We can create the change that we seek. All it requires is that our generation be willing to do what those who came before us have done. To rise above the cynicism and rise above the fear. To hold fast to our values. To see ourselves in each other. To cherish dignity and opportunity, not just for our own children, but for somebody else's child. [ APPLAUSE ] To remember that our freedom is bound up With the freedom of others. Regardless of what they look like or where they come from, or what their last name is or what faith they practice.

[ APPLAUSE ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ]
