Let's help them register to vote, and let's remind them, without voting, nothing is possible. With voting, everything is possible. Folks, let me close with this. When President Johnson signed the Civil Rights act of 1964, he said the following. This is a proud triumph that those who founded our country knew that freedom would be secure only. Only if each generation fought to renew and embrace its meaning. It's literal. I caught Con Law for 10 years in law school. I'd always say that every generation has obligation to defend it. (17:54–18:19)
