it felt to dr. king to remind america that the work was not finished and lincoln's vision not yet realized. during that century, we saw the rise of segregation and the fiction that separate but equal could actually be equal. a second civil war was needed, a war of protest. it would be a war of morals and aspirations. a war to make america live up to the dreams of our forefathers. our fathers brought forth on this continent a new vision that all men are created equal. dr. king reaffirmed these hopes in his speech. the gettysburg address and "i have a dream" have gone down as the most inspirational speeches in american history. i am proud of my country and all we have done to realize these visions. both men would be pleased but not satisfied. both men were assassinated for their beliefs. we are their inheritors. you must do more than commemorate the date and be warmed by their words. we must reach out to those in need so that we may all be free at last. the march must continue." as you can see, we were ver

dr. king called for a -- said it was time to break silence. about materialism, and racism. this was after the civil rights act, after the voting rights act of '65. he knew that the work in this country. the moral work was far from over. he said then that silence was betrayal. we declare today if silence was betrayal in '67, then a higher ground declaration is a necessity today. lastly i want to read one other scripture that even comes from the kworn. you heard me quote the jewish text and from luck forward or even in the connor, it says the believers, both men and women are in charge of and responsible for one another. they're all enjoy the doing of what is right and forbid the doing of what is wrong. wherever you look, our deepest faith traditions or even in our constitution, there is this call for a higher ground moral declaration. we believe that the conversation we ought to be having right now in this country, whether it's presidential, gubernatorial, or senator, is where do candidates sta

dr. king? my response to them, dr. king's soul and essence is in every peaceful demonstrator that's on the streets. because that's the king will be -- because dr. king would be demonstrating today when we see the kind of attack that apparently happens to unarmed black men and women with no transparency. dr. king marched on washington, d.c., to get those answers from -- to get the protection from the government. we're here today because when you look at the lack of transparency that is taking place in many cities in our nation, we believe the answer to end that is in the hands of the attorney general of the united states. and so we're here today to try and to tell the attorney general that within her power we can send a message to all of the municipalities and police departments where overwhelmingly we agree 98% of them are doing great jobs. but we want to make sure the transparency where someone has committed an act of violence against someone who had their hands up as we clearly saw in tulsa,
