“Folks will entry the great that comes from actions whether it is finished with integrity. Then it turns into a guidepost for creating change, strengthening our society and bringing us collectively. It is going to then be one thing that each one folks whether or not Black or white, wealthy or poor, whether it is finished ethically and morally, we are able to come collectively.”
