"I want to read to everyone something from the great Frederick Douglass that I know you know. It was delivered, it was in a dress, delivered on July 5th, 1852. And he said, the Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn. What to the American slave is your Fourth of July? I answer, a day that reveals to him more than all other days in the year, the gross injustice and cruelty to which he is the constant victim. Now, that was delivered before the end of slavery. But to my mind, those words, they still ring in the ear, to my ear at least. How do you view July 4th on this 250th anniversary? Well, Frederick Douglass knew, Jonathan, that the country was in a constant mode of trying to be a more perfect nation, and it was deeply flawed. He knew that religious and moral leaders could not participate in the lie. There were attempts to use July 4th to cover up the ugliness of slavery, to cover up Douglass about this. Frederick said, no, it can't be that. Our national holidays have to be about repentance, have to be about restoration. And it has to be about what kind of vision we truly embrace. And we have to have truth telling. That is why, right now, in that spirit, moral and religious leaders and impacted people, we must challenge the dangerous, revisionist kind of activity going on with a powerful, determined vision rooted in our deepest moral and religious values and our deepest constitutional values. What I mean by that. Well, clergy, Jonathan, every Monday at five o'clock has been going in front of the White House, talking to thousands online, putting up a public pulpit, taking the streets, doing a rush hour to put forth a vision that challenges this revisionist history. Clergy, moral leaders, religious leaders, impacted people, poor, low-wage people. Right now, in that spirit of Frederick, we must fight against these attacks on the gains of the second Reconstruction. We must push for a third Reconstruction. That must be an anti-war, expanding voting rights, protecting voting rights, abolishing poverty, welcoming immigrants agenda. This year, right now, must be a vision vote, not just a vote about what we critique, but a vision vote. What do we want? Who are we? Who are we supposed to be? And every effort, lastly, I believe, must be marching to the polls in the states around vision. Vision is what moves people, not just critique."
