I want to thank you for inviting me here. I have learned a lot.

Mississippi is better, and I know Mississippi is better. It couldn't have been worse, but it is much better.

The dictates of an administration that hasn't learned the lessons of history, that when you round up people based on the color of their skin or their country of origin, we always look back in horror and shame.
