I'm grateful. But Dre could not have done it without me. And I could not have done it without them.

Before we can work on the problems, we have to fix our souls. Our souls are broken in this nation.

For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback.

No one country can confront them alone…the only way forward is together.

We have this window of opportunity; we have a chance to make something real happen. Something possible happen, to live beyond our fear, think about that, and help us. Help lift us up, help us fight this fight to change, - transform - this country in a fundamental way. This chance won't come around again.

When I say I loved it, I don't mean I loved being hit. I just mean...there was some good in there, too. I am not going to call it all bad.

For the First Time in My Adult Lifetime, I'm Really Proud of My Country
