I'm not here though because of his speech.

I'm here despite his speech.

I'm here because as powerful as he was, the people were more powerful.

But I remind you, all those people who believe like me that we've got to redeem the dream, turn again to John Lewis, because you all know the story, my colleagues, of when the man that beat him savagely, drew blood, cracked bones,

I forgave him.

I hugged him.
