As a former teacher, I am so proud of each and every one of you. And I am so honored to be here at Paul Quinn College. Paul Quinn was not started by politicians. It was built by black preachers holding classes in church basements and living rooms just seven years after emancipation came to Texas. For 154 years, Quinites have been guided by a deep moral commitment to all of God's children, regardless of their skin color or their zip code. This place has spiritual roots. (01:35–01:51)
