separating out the voices and giving the students three voices. two white students and one black students . in the arguments. on the counties are . easy because they had written so much. so any letters to the editor. so any articles have been written about it. and it was hard because unless you, of course you go forward because you don't want to be seen at times us was the one who did this. but there are a couple of an anonymous oral with the soldiers gave. one of them just had absolutely broke my heart. he was a student can't state. he would not give his name. i think sandy knows who it is. but i don't need to know. it was amazing. it made it very hard to write. and also some black united students. they didn't have as much or what i had to do was the long arc of the overreach. it for all of us but particularly black americans rated and going forward it in looking at what is happening today. that was very hard to do. i wanted very much to draw that line so that kept state to be read by anyone. i wanted the voice to be able to have that overview. s

there's these voices who are arguing, talking, agreeing. everybody just having this conversation throughout the whole book and they're all sort of giving you american history at the same time so even before history, generations before you learn much with these bits of history but they're all coming through conversation and we both fought for a minute and you were the one i think came up with the idea of elected memory. and you said in event of history is a collection of stories. it's a collection of all the people who were there, all the people who went through whatever it was. and that rang so true to me and that's when i think it began to gel. is that your remembrance? >> it was area and it's rare you can boil things down to two words but it was that phrase, collective memory and the minute we had that i was like okay, this is where it's going to go and i still didn't know what are you were going to use a first-person plural, sort of the chorus idea or whether it was going to be distinctive voices and whether you were going to give them n

a source of hope and a powerful voice for justice. she was proof that courage and conviction and moral clarity can change not only the law, it can change our culture -- it can change the world. i believe in the days and months and years ahead -- excuse me -- she will continue to inspire americans across this country. and together we can and will continue to be a voice for justice in her name. her granddaughter said yesterday, and said publicly, that her dying words were, "my most fervent wish is that i not be replaced until a new president is installed." as a nation, we should heat her final call, not as a personal service to her, but as a service to the country, our country, at a crossroads. there is so much at stake. the right to health care, clean air, clean water, the environment, equal pay for equal work, the rights of voters, immigrants, women, workers. and right now our country faces a choice. a choice about whether we will come back from the brink. that's what i would like to talk with you about for a few minutes today. within

why is it so much harder to do voice than video?l, there are several reasons, but one of the reasons is that if you think about what a computer sees, right, then if you replicate a video of you in the kind of style you have seen with lara, there is — the kind of space of possibilities is quite constrained. right? it's like, we are replicating video of someone sitting here speaking and we need sync their lips and head movements and things like that. if you're trying to do something like this with a voice, the training data will be a lot more limited. so let's say even if you have two hours of you talking, right, that is still very, very little of all the things that you could possibly say. so could i use your platform to upload a video of anyone? not me, and create a virtual version of them? no. why not? we need written consent from whoever is being uploaded. everything goes through manual review and we only do custom avatars for corporate clients. so clearly you have protocols in place, but is the very existence of this technology,

all voices of freedom. what is very powerful to me about the connection of banneker and jefferson includes, benjamin banneker sending his almanac to thomas jefferson and stating, in fact, african-americans are brilliant. they are human. they contribute to the development of this nation and deserve to be free. and excuse me if i paraphrase, but thomas jefferson essentially said you are the exception and freedom was not going to come during his particular time in life. so now, why don't we go forward and making a way -- remember, this is a human story. in the midst of all of this inhumanity, you still have african-americans fighting for freedom, fighting for liberty, fighting for the nation to recognize them as citizens in this world. as we go forward, we look at while they were laws, s restricting them, african-americans found ways to go a around those laws and hold on to their humanity. why don't we go to the section making a way out of no way. many things happened after the revolutionary war, including the

the voice of this most storied justice. mr. president, i have one other purpose in coming to the floor today, and that is to recognize my colleague, my friend erica saunder, my chief counsel who i now embarrass, who is departing this week. erica is an immensely talented lawyer and has been an invaluable member of my team for over four years. a suma graduate at the university of illinois at urbane university of ?ois at urbana-champagne. a graduate of harvard law school. a deputy editor of the school of law. a clerk on the sixth circuit for judge cornelia kennedy. after all of that, she went to one of washington's most prestigious law firms. after nine years of diligent litigation and work, she earned her way into being a partner. but during all this time, dedicated her time to pro bono work, to advocating for those seeking justice. she could have had a much more lucrative career than the last four years here in the senate. and her trajectory was not a typical one for a chief counsel on a judiciary committee. she was willing

should that p affectce resolved with theut american people get a voice in the courts future? either the american people do get it election your voice for running the court or they don't.d in 2016, senator mcconnell said they do. now he says they don't. it is a flip-flop, plain and simple because it is to his personal political advantage to reverse this stated principle. effort republican dissented senate harry reid to change the senate rules for lower court nominations in 2013 is no justification to anyone who has a memory. senator reid was responding to an precedent republican obstruction of president of obama's nominees. senator reid made a point of not changing the rule. that 60 requirement when it came to supreme court confirmations. it was senator mcconnell who did that in 2017. : : : es that depend on whether it's a republican or democratic president or a republican or democratic senate. that's exactly what senator mcconnell is calling for. so here's what it comes down to. in 2016, senator mcconnell said the people should get the voice through an upcoming election becau

quote -- his words -- the american people should have a voice in the selection of their next supremecourt justice. therefore, this vacancy shall not be filled until we have a new president. no amount of sophistry could change what mcconnell said then and it applies even more so now -- more so, so much closer we are to an election. in an op-ed on february 18, 02016, with senator grassley, leader mcconnell wrote, given that we are in the midst of a presidential election process, we believe the american people should seize the opportunity to weigh in on whom they trust to nominate the next person for a lifetime appointment to the supreme court. in the midst of an election system -- in the midst of an election process february before the election? but now we are not? now these words don't apply? doesn't pass the smell test in any way. no wonder leader mcconnell was so defensive in his comments. at a press conference on march 1, 2016, leader mcconnell said, quote, we look forward to the american people deciding who they want to make this appointment through their own votes. and on the flo

give the people a voice in filling the vacancy. that was eight months, more than eight months, from a national election. this is 44 days. the senate has never confirmed a nominee to the supreme court this close to a presidential election. if that was how leader mcconnell and senate republicans justified their mindless obstruction of president obama's nominee, surely they must abide by their own standard. what's fair is fair. what's fair is fair. a senator's word must count for something. senator mcconnell has come to the floor numerous times to say, your word is the currency of the realm in the senate. that it is important for all senators to keep their word, but it's particularly important for the majority leader. leader mcconnell said those things. my friend, the distinguished chairman of the judiciary committee, sensed that this situation might arise and madeht it crystal clear how he would a behave if the shoe were on the other foot. he said, i want you to use my words against me. if there's a republican president in 2016 and v

and their voice should be heard. and i believe voters will make it clear -- they will not stand for this abuse of power. this constitutional abuse. there is no discussion about lame-duckns or the after donald trump loses. the successor to justice ginsburg, what happens? that discussion assumes that we allude this effort -- elude this effort in the grave wrong that they are pursuing here. i'm not going to assume failure at this point. i believe the american voices should be heard and will be -- will be heard. this fight will not be over until the senate votes, if it does vote. winning that boat if it happens, -- vote, if it happens, is everything. action and reaction. anger and more anger. sorrow and frustration. that is the cycle that republican senators will perpetuate if they go down this dangerous path that they put us on. we need to de-escalate, not escalate. that is why appeal to the few senate republican -- the handful that will really decide what happened -- what happens. follow your conscience. do not go ther
