During this segment, we heard voices of community members, activist and clergy. It was a discussion of sorts about the "old America" and the "new America." Here are a few highlights of this section.
Pastor Dr. Hoffman F. Brown, 3rd, Baltimore Regional Initiative Developing Genuine Equality (BRIDGE) stated that the country is ready for new leadership.
"In the old America, my sister was dead young. [The old America] killed millions b/c health care was a privilege. We were left on our own to defend ourselves."
In new America, health care and good jobs will be a priority of our government.
In old America, Muslims were labeled as terrorist and discriminated against. Sexual orientation was whispered as a divisive issue.
New America will finally work for all of us.
You have heard different voices, but the same story. "We were not allowed to sit at the table, but now we OWN the table!"
Pastor Dr. Hoffman F. Brown asks, "are YOU ready for a new America?!" Before he was able to finish his question, the entire room was on their feet cheering.
