Glenn Singleton

That was a special night.

I can't even imagine where you are right now, Kamau.

Yeah.

Well, so many, I mean, if people don't want to stroll the history so far back, if we just look at this first design of the Great Society, neither Kennedy nor LBJ were really interested in the cause.

OK, their purpose was something completely different.

And oftentimes that same purpose that you see pervading those those Congress halls of Congress right now, they want to get reelected.

They want to they want to keep the gig going.

Right.

Right.

And also America.

has this interesting part of its culture that we want to show the world that we're great, even though we're not acting great inside.

And so these two forces were happening, right?

And the Kennedys and then LBJ, they came to understand that there is some goodness in this moral obligation for all folks to feel real citizenship and dignity.

But they also recognize that it was in their best interest to calm the storms.

And that's what I worry about today, Mick, because this particular government is not interested in harmony and peace and community in this country.

They're interested in their own individual personal gains.

And so I don't know how you talk to people who are only interested in themselves, right?

Because there's nothing that we have here.

So I think our coalition now is really important to come together as people who have a bigger interest than just ourselves.

We're looking for, you know, what's going to happen for our children.
