We went to the House floor with a megaphone because we wanted to amplify the voices of those young people who were saying, do something, do something. And the sad part is it was members of our own caucus, our Democratic caucus leadership who said, you should apologize to the Republican leadership and say, you didn't know better, you were young. And I said, Cameron Sexton should apologize.

And you know, this title of being a representative is nice, the title of being a mayor is nice, but your purpose is better, and you must be willing to risk your title for your purpose. And that's my message to the mayor.

First of all, I'm physically new to the South, but my lineage is from the South. And I just want to say the name of my grandmother, because I would not be who I am without my grandmother, Harriet. And my family fled the South during Jim Crow, moved to Chicago from Tennessee, and then moved to California.

And so I say my ancestors call me back here, because even though Jim Crow is over, now we face Jim Crow's son named James Crow Esquire, which is more sophisticated and subtle, but it's just as dangerous as Jim Crow. And what I would say is that It's important. I've been traveling the country a lot. I was just in Buffalo speaking at the university for the graduation. I was just in Colorado.

And so often I hear people say, oh, just let the South secede right off the South. And I always tell them, number one, as somebody who represents a very diverse district, I know that the majority of black people in this nation live in the South. I know that if you want to change this nation, you must change the South.

If we study the abolition of slavery and reconstruction to the civil rights movement, this has been the front line of our democracy. And the reason why there is so much repression in the South is because they know that if we come together as black and white, indigenous, Latino, that we can build a new South.

And I always tell people, you hear that saying from George Wallace and all these southern governors, they say, the South's going to rise again, the South's going to rise again. I say, no, we reject that. And we say that the South's going to rise anew, a South that is multiracial, multi-faith, multi-generational, pro-justice, anti-poverty, pro-queer. That's the South that we can build. And so...
