00:00:00 --> 00:00:02
			Brothers and sisters from the Latin South.
		
00:00:03 --> 00:00:06
			They're also brothers and sisters from the East
		
00:00:06 --> 00:00:07
			and the West.
		
00:00:08 --> 00:00:11
			Let's not forget about the Syrian refugees.
		
00:00:12 --> 00:00:14
			Some of their family members are here, and
		
00:00:14 --> 00:00:16
			some of their families are there.
		
00:00:17 --> 00:00:20
			Don't forget about those students who are from
		
00:00:20 --> 00:00:22
			Africa and the Middle East,
		
00:00:23 --> 00:00:25
			who also are going to be united
		
00:00:26 --> 00:00:28
			if these justices will find the courage.
		
00:00:29 --> 00:00:31
			I want you to know that this is
		
00:00:31 --> 00:00:33
			a still a broken nation.
		
00:00:35 --> 00:00:37
			Broken because we have some governors
		
00:00:38 --> 00:00:40
			who are afraid to leave.
		
00:00:42 --> 00:00:44
			Today, we're not gonna talk about them. We're
		
00:00:44 --> 00:00:46
			gonna talk about justice.
		
00:00:48 --> 00:00:51
			We have come to this place seeking justice.
		
00:00:53 --> 00:00:55
			We have come to this place many times
		
00:00:55 --> 00:00:56
			before.
		
00:00:57 --> 00:00:59
			Myself, I'm a descendant of slaves.
		
00:01:01 --> 00:01:02
			And it was this court
		
00:01:03 --> 00:01:05
			that upheld the 13th
		
00:01:06 --> 00:01:07
			and the 14th
		
00:01:07 --> 00:01:09
			amendment to the constitution
		
00:01:10 --> 00:01:11
			that declared
		
00:01:11 --> 00:01:13
			that people ought to be
		
00:01:13 --> 00:01:14
			free.
		
00:01:14 --> 00:01:17
			Amen. Right. There are many of our brothers
		
00:01:17 --> 00:01:17
			and sisters
		
00:01:18 --> 00:01:20
			who, because they don't have citizenship,
		
00:01:21 --> 00:01:23
			are nothing but 21st
		
00:01:23 --> 00:01:24
			century
		
00:01:25 --> 00:01:25
			slaves.
		
00:01:26 --> 00:01:28
			Their labor is exploited
		
00:01:29 --> 00:01:31
			because their employers know
		
00:01:31 --> 00:01:33
			that their status is uncertain,
		
00:01:34 --> 00:01:36
			that they don't have the rights
		
00:01:36 --> 00:01:37
			of a citizen.
		
00:01:38 --> 00:01:39
			And so we're saying today
		
00:01:40 --> 00:01:41
			that we're asking
		
00:01:41 --> 00:01:42
			these justices
		
00:01:44 --> 00:01:45
			to stand
		
00:01:45 --> 00:01:46
			firmly
		
00:01:46 --> 00:01:47
			for justice
		
00:01:48 --> 00:01:48
			for those
		
00:01:49 --> 00:01:51
			who are in a state of limbo.
		
00:01:53 --> 00:01:55
			We are asking god's mercy
		
00:01:55 --> 00:01:58
			on the leadership of president Obama,
		
00:01:59 --> 00:02:01
			who has put forward this legislation.
		
00:02:03 --> 00:02:05
			We're asking right now, today,
		
00:02:07 --> 00:02:08
			to end the segregation.
		
00:02:09 --> 00:02:10
			Today,
		
00:02:10 --> 00:02:12
			just like the supreme court
		
00:02:12 --> 00:02:13
			ended the segregation
		
00:02:14 --> 00:02:15
			in 1954
		
00:02:16 --> 00:02:17
			and 56.
		
00:02:19 --> 00:02:21
			We're asking the supreme court
		
00:02:22 --> 00:02:23
			to unify our families
		
00:02:24 --> 00:02:24
			by upholding
		
00:02:25 --> 00:02:26
			the legality
		
00:02:26 --> 00:02:27
			of DAPA and DACA.
		
00:02:29 --> 00:02:30
			We're saying today
		
00:02:30 --> 00:02:33
			that we're asking these judges
		
00:02:34 --> 00:02:36
			for them to exercise
		
00:02:37 --> 00:02:37
			some moral
		
00:02:38 --> 00:02:38
			courage.
