8:31 pm
and i was still, my watch was on the wrong time. once a year, times go forward. and if you don't move your watch, you'll find yourself in our late, not because your watch was wrong, but you had your watch on the wrong, but you had your watch on the wrong time. i have come to tell you that sitting in washington, talking about militarizing the country in thinking that you can sell will take us thinking that you can sell will take us to people, who's had enough of a buse, i come to tell you you can get on the tv but you are on the wrong time. time is out! for not holding you accountable! time is out for you making excuses! time is out for you trying to stall excellent time is out for empty words and empty promises! time is out for you filibustering and trying to solve the arm of justice!
8:32 pm
filibustering and trying to solve the arm ofjustice! this is the time! we will not stop! we will keep going until we change the whole system of justice! are organisations i have called this a day of mourning. in a aa cp, the national urban leak, legal defence fund, a black woman's roundtable, all they got together and said we will have a day of mourning. —— naacp. then we will come out of this morning. because at some of our experts and others that know the legal fields, they have outlined a legal fields, they have outlined a legal process, we must enforce. everything from residency to dealing with police backgrounds and not being hidden. italked
8:33 pm
with police backgrounds and not being hidden. i talked to governor andrew cuomo today in new york. he says we have to change 58 where the backgrounds are stopped. we need to know if they stop you, they find out everything you ever did. why don't we know when policemen have a pattern? we have to go back to consent decrees. under the obama administration, they had put certain cities with patterns and practices under consent decrees. whenjamaal bryant, pastor baltimore, they put it under consent decree wasn't one of the first things that happened in the next ministration. they stopped the next ministration. they stopped the consent decree. we have specific policies that need to happen. therefore i am glad martyn the third is here today. on august 28, the 57 anniversary anniversary of the march on washington. we are going back to
8:34 pm
washington, martin. that is where your father stood in the shadows of the lincoln memorial. and said i have a dream. we will go back this august 28. were going to restore and recommit that dream, to stand up because just like in one era, recommit that dream, to stand up becausejust like in one era, we had to fight slavery in another area we had to fightjim crow, another error we dealt with voting rights, this is the error to deal with the policing and criminaljustice. the error to deal with the policing and criminal justice. we the error to deal with the policing and criminaljustice. we need to go back to washington and stand up, black, white, latino, arab, and the shadows of lincoln, and tell them this is the time to stop this! we, martin and i talked about this, i've asked reverend brian to get the

8:36 pm
thinking. and that is what i want them to help lead this and i want one of the greatest thinkers of our time, doctor michael eric dyson, i have asked him to speak was that we need to break down. the auto know what time it is. you're operating like it is yesterday. the reason you are late catching up to what these protest means is because you did not turn your clocks forward. talking about make america great. great for who and great when? where are you going to make america great again for everybody for the first time. —— we are going to make. never it was great for blacks, never was great for latinos, it was never great for others. nothing was great for woman. no woman had to march to get the right to vote. but lastly, just the
8:37 pm
religious side. —— those women. i was reading and kept thinking about how i was a little embarrassed because when i heard that george, at this point of suffering and brutal attack, called for mama. i said to the attorney crump, i want to talk to his mother. he said his mother had passed. isaid his to his mother. he said his mother had passed. i said his mother passed? but had passed. i said his mother passed ? but he had passed. i said his mother passed? but he was calling for his mother. and i thought about it because i was raised by a single mother. and sometimes, the only thing between us and our conditions was our mothers. sometimes the only thing that we had that would take danger away it was our mothers. the
8:38 pm
only ones that would make sure the food was on the table was our mother. i know why george was calling for his mum. but then as i got that all placed in my mind and i realised why i was always calling. my realised why i was always calling. my mother died eight years ago but i still try to talk to her. sometimes just dial her cell phone to hear the voice mail of her phone that i never cut off. i still want to reach out there. but talking to quincy last night, one of his five children, quincy saidi night, one of his five children, quincy said i was thinking maybe he was calling his mother because at the point that he was dying, his mother was stretching her hands out. saying come on, george, i welcome you were the wicked will cease from troubling. for the weary will be at rest. there is a place where police
8:39 pm
did not put knees on you, george. there is a place that prosecutors don't drag yourfeet, there is a place that prosecutors don't drag your feet, may be mama said come on, george, there is a god that still sits high, but he looks down low and he will make a way out of no way. this god is still on the throne, the reason we can fight, i don't care who is in the white house, there is another house. that said if we will fight, he will fight oui’ said if we will fight, he will fight our battles. if we stand up, he will hold us up. as we leave here today, i say to this family i know that yea rs i say to this family i know that years ago we told them to keep up a lie. then i know that president obama wrote a book about hope. —— keep hope alive. but i want you to know in my life, there are times where i lost hope. things can happen
8:40 pm
like this that will —— or hope. but there is something that is assisted oi’ there is something that is assisted or hope. it is called faith. faith is the substance of things. —— sister to hope. hope for. the evidence of things unseen, faith is when you have a pile of bills and no money. but you say he will provide. all of my needs. faith is when you have no medicine in the cabinet, and you are sick in your body but you say he is a doctor, that never lost a patient. and he will dry tears from my eyes. faith is when your friends walk out when your loved ones turn their back, but you say i don't believe he brought me this far to leave me now. we didn't come this far by luck. we didn't come this far by some faith. we came this far by
8:41 pm
faith, leaning on the lord, trusting in his holy word, he never, he never failed me yet! from the outhouse to the white house, we come along way, god will, god shall, god will, god a lwa ys god will, god shall, god will, god always has come he will make a way for his children. going home, george. get your rest. you change the world, george. we will keep marching. we will keep fighting. we turn the car. we will go forward, george. timeout. timeout! hezekiah walker. we asked the gospel

8:51 pm
wa nt to all right, we remain standing, i want to recognise clyde reliquary of the american indian movement. that's clyde bella courts. brother we honoured that you have came. thank you. let me say it, they recognise some of the state chair of the naacp. in many black live matters, many of the grassroots organisations that have been doing the protests on the ground in many annapolis and around the country, movements are about everybody. we don't exclude anybody. those young folks, some are organic and on their own, some in the naacp in some urban league and some of the network, we need everybody. this is not a competition. this is a movement. and we need to stop are competing and start fighting the real enemy. thank you for doing what you all are doing. when i got here, they were
8:52 pm
marching. they kept marching. they didn't need anybody to come organise it. we will stay organised. and i really think them for their work. we wa nt to really think them for their work. we want to pause for eight minutes and 46 seconds. i want to to do this because of the pandemic when i ask you to take hands, but i want you to stand next to somebody with the right distance. —— i will not ask you to take hands. the amazing thing about this moment, people said they never saw marches all over the country. we've had that, but we never had any pandemic. the reason this is a different time is people came out by the hundreds of thousands and in risk of their own health to stand up. people that had been sheltered in, they broke out a
8:53 pm
shelter. the first flight i took was to come here. in many weeks. and maybe in gods own way, martin, the fa ct we maybe in gods own way, martin, the fact we were shelter means we can watch sports or watched nothing, we have to keep watching that tape. maybe because we had no distractions that finally we are ready to deal with this. so as we stand, i would like us to stand together, and i wa nt like us to stand together, and i want tiffany, since i was disrespectful, can you stand with us up disrespectful, can you stand with us up here? so you won't be talking about me in your next interview. and i would like the mother of eric garner, whose mother of the one who originally died in police custody saying i can't breathe, to stand with me and ben crump on stage. let
8:54 pm
us with me and ben crump on stage. let us stand. somebody said it reverent, eight minutes of the long time. that meant it was long enough for the police to understand what they were doing. it doesn't mean it was long enough where one of those three cops is that what was going on. it means it was long enough for whatever this officer had in mind for him to everything. that's it meant it was like enough for those three cops. think about what george was going to, laying there for those eight minutes. begging for his life. i heard someone the state narrating his own death. —— in their rating. we cannot let this go. we cannot keep living like this. sam jackson, is he still here? steve jackson. steve, want to recognise. we need to
8:55 pm
stop this here. we have to end this time and bring about a new season. let us stand still. you that believe in fate, bow your heads, which every where you worship. —— believe in faith.
