Baltimore is the birthplace of Freddie Gray and Corinne Gaines, and exemplifies resiliency. Despite America's ugly history, Black people have made beautiful contributions. After 400 years, there is no more time to waste. No matter your location or skills, you can be part of the change, and the change starts now. Support Black-led organizations and Black people.

Speaker 0 talks about their involvement in the civil rights movement, mentioning desegregating movie theaters, organizing voter registration drives, and sitting in black churches. They emphasize their deep involvement in the movement since they were 18 years old. Speaker 1, referencing the New York Times, accuses Biden of lying about marching in the civil rights movement. Despite being reminded that he hadn't actually marched, Biden continued to tell the story. Speaker 1 finds this behavior strange.

I grew up as the only Indian family in a small southern town and faced daily teasing for being brown. I have a record of standing up against racism, such as advocating for body cameras after Walter Scott's shooting and calling for the removal of the Confederate flag after the Mother Emanuel Church shooting. I take pride in having friends from different races. I faced discrimination when I was disqualified from a beauty pageant because they didn't know where to place me. I understand the pain of racism and fight against it every day. If I didn't mention slavery, it's because it's a well-known part of the Civil War.

The speaker addresses the perceived lack of African Americans in special operations, suggesting "blacks and water don't mix," based on personal experience. The speaker recounts attempting to learn to swim using a book. The first instruction was to float by taking a breath and relaxing, but the speaker sank. A lifeguard told the speaker to relax the body, but the speaker continued to sink. The lifeguard exclaimed, "you're..." before the transcript ends.

In 1969, I became deeply involved in the civil rights movement as a kid. I worked at an all-black swimming pool in Wilmington, Delaware, on the east side. I was connected to the thoughts and feelings of the people there, though I did not participate in marches or events like those in Selma.

The speaker recalls entering fourth grade and rarely seeing Black people in Scranton. They remember seeing Black children, referred to at the time as "colored kids," riding by on a bus.

I got involved in reproductive issues because of my parents. They were always engaged in volunteer work, and my dad even led Planned Parenthood. Being associated with it was controversial at the time.

I moved from Scranton, Pennsylvania to Delaware in 3rd grade with my parents. We just want kids to be able to go to school.

At 21 years old, I walked into the Senate chamber and got arrested. Later, I tried to see Nelson Mandela in South Africa and got arrested again. I even met him once. The campaign says I wasn't arrested, but I couldn't move and was stopped by the cops. I didn't experience the struggles of historical figures like Douglass, Tubman, King, Lewis, Goodman, Chaney, and Swerner, but I walked my own path.

I used to hate white people due to older generations instilling distrust in me. Media reinforced this narrative, creating a victim mentality. Growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood, I rarely encountered white people, but still felt hostility towards them.

I never traveled to DC with Mr. Wade for personal or business reasons. We have never been in DC at the same time. I have been to DC for an interview at Howard University and the Global Summit, but not with Mr. Wade. I did not visit the White House during my trips to DC.

How many of you used to vote Democrat? And how many have always voted Republican? We have a great mix here. I grew up as a Democrat but, after studying the issues, I realized I was actually a conservative. It's important to me, as a Black man, to have the freedom to choose how I vote. I find it racist when society dictates my political beliefs. Over the years, I've learned to think for myself and have come to appreciate conservative policies, which is why I am where I am today.

I traveled from New York to Washington, DC, with a group of Jewish protesters and Trump supporters from New York City. We came in two buses, and I rode with my friend Sam, the organizer. The group consisted of great people from Hillel and Chabad. As a born-again Christian with Jewish roots through my mother, I have strong ties to the Jewish community in New York. These were just everyday, humble, yarmulke-wearing Jewish people. The day before, I was at a business meeting in my lawyer's office on Park Avenue with a payment processing company I was partnering with. I was dressed in slacks, a dress shirt, and my nice leather jacket, as I'm from New York City.

Speaker 0 marched in the civil rights movement to change attitudes. They were involved in desegregating movie theaters and organizing voter registration drives. Speaker 0 sat in black churches with Jewish rabbis, preparing to desegregate movie theaters. They have been involved in causes since they were 18, including desegregating restaurants. However, according to the New York Times, Speaker 2 claims that Speaker 0 lied about marching in the civil rights movement. Despite being reminded of this, Speaker 0 continued to tell the story. Speaker 2 finds this behavior strange.

As an American Jew deeply involved in Judaism, I had a profound experience when I visited Palestinians in the West Bank. It reminded me of the Jim Crow South, witnessing people living without rights, citizenship, or freedom of movement. They endure a harsh military legal system. While I don't agree with Mifda, who supports violence, it's important to acknowledge what Ilhan Omar said: people should see the situation for themselves. I've never met anyone who hasn't been transformed by such an experience. It's similar to visiting SNCC during the civil rights movement and dismissing them based on connections or anti-white sentiments.

In 1961, we embarked on a Freedom Ride. On August 28, 1963, we participated in the March on Washington, where we met President John Fitzgerald Kennedy. Later, on August 6, 19, we fought for the signing of the Voting Rights Act. We felt hopeful and excited. When we witness injustice, it is our moral duty to speak up and take action. Our future generations will question what we did and said. Although voting may pose challenges for some, we have a mission and a mandate to stand on the right side of history.

Coming from Cuba, I understand the value of freedom after losing it there. In 1975, hearing Jimmy Carter campaign for president reminded me of Fidel Castro, leading me to believe he was a communist. This realization sparked my interest in politics.

I have spent a significant amount of time at the Bethel AME Church in Wilmington, Delaware, where I began my involvement in the civil rights movement. I used to attend both the 7:30 mass and the 10 o'clock service with the reverend who is now the bishop. It is worth mentioning that the bishop has also been to South Africa. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to worship at this church before.

I was involved in the civil rights movement as a high school kid, desegregating movie theaters and restaurants. I sat in black churches next to Jewish rabbis, preparing to desegregate movie theaters. Despite not actually marching, I remained engaged in civil rights causes since I was 18. Despite being reminded that I did not march, I continued to tell the story. This behavior is strange. Translation: I participated in civil rights activities as a teenager, desegregating establishments and sitting in churches. Even though I didn't physically march, I stayed committed to civil rights causes. Despite being reminded of this, I continued to share the story, which is odd.

I live in Aledo, Texas, the whitest part of the state. There's hardly any diversity here, but I've experienced zero racism. We moved here for the good schools and small-town feel. Despite the lack of black people, I've never felt unwelcome. People in the neighborhood are friendly, offering me water on walks and complimenting my daughter. I've never encountered racism here.

I'm tired of discussing race and the constant conversations around it. However, it's essential to engage in these discussions to make progress. When I feel overwhelmed, I find that taking action helps. Recently, I registered voters in Freeport, New York, which can influence political control and important issues like statehood for Washington, D.C. Voting is crucial, but we must also encourage others to vote. An incident I experienced highlighted the pervasive racial bias in our culture, which many people, especially white individuals, may not recognize. It’s important to understand that racial bias exists deeply in society, as seen in tragic events like the police brutality in Minneapolis. We need to confront and combat this bias actively.

I identify as American, not African American. I believe in promoting freedom and equality, which is how I got elected. I didn't rely on race or privilege. I grew up in Overland, Saint Louis County, in a non-privileged family after my father passed when I was 12.

I was involved in the civil rights movement as a teenager, but not as an activist. Joe Biden made hurtful comments about racial jungle and opposed bussing. I confronted him in debates, but now we seem friendly. Not everyone criticized him like I did.
