This Man [ Donald Trump]

I Was So Inspired By Dr. King That In 1956 With My Brothers And Sisters And First Cousins, I Was Only 16 Years Old, We Went Down To The Public Library Trying To Check Out Some Books And We Were Told By The Librarian That The Library Was For Whites Only And Not For Colors! It Was A Public Library! I Never Went Back To That Public Library Until July 5th, 1998, By This Time I'm In The Congress, For A Book Signing Of My Book "walking With The Wind"

Right Now What My Job Is, And I Think The Job Of Democrats And Republicans, Is To Protect The Middle Class And Working Families Of This Country From Some Devastating Ideas That [donald] Trump Has Proposed.

When I Was Growing Up In Rural Alabama, As A Young Child, About 50 Miles From Montgomery, And We Would Visit The Little Town Of Troy, Or Visit Montgomery Or Tuskegee, I Would See The Signs That Said, "white Men - Colored Men," "white Women - Colored Women."and I Would Come Home And Say To My Mother And Father And My Grandparents, "why?" "why This?" "why That?" And They Would Just Tell Me, "that's Just The Way It Is! Don't Get In The Way. Don't Cause Trouble."
