Thank you BU for sharing this once again. Rep. Lewis’ words seem even more prophetic today - “We’re all in one boat now - one people, one family, one house.” He talks of “beloved community” and “a spark of divine in all of us” and ends with “Get out there and vote like never before”. May we all take heed of his words and also about getting into “good trouble, necessary trouble”. May he rest in peace.

He needs an interpreter. Almost unintelligible.

Maybe if you’re beaten with police batons, you’ll have a problem speaking?

I guess English is not your first language. Study up pal.

[@Cacofonixravi]

The language he speaks is human language, one has to be human to understand this language. We can help you if you need it. Best wishes
