00:00I'm here to mourn the destruction of one of our brightest symbols of the black resistance.
00:29Not only in this city, but in this country. People from all around the world came to see this and to see it destroyed because of
00:38capitulating to Donald Trump is it's beyond insulting.
00:59If your eyes are open, your ears are open, your mind is open, you know that this is just the beginning.
01:11And I tell you what, my mother died in 2017. I miss her dearly, but I am so glad that she's not around to see this because, you know, she did the original march on Washington.
01:25I did several since that time, you know, and, you know, where's the pride in being a U.S. citizen anymore?
01:34This mural in this in this location, it was one way of letting us know that our contributions matter, that our black lives will always matter.
02:01We just happened. We just happened to be at a point where there's been a setback.
02:05But as I said before, this setback is definitely setting the stage for a remarkable comeback.
