The unwavering and unshakable Rev. Dr. William Barber II is the founder of North Carolina’s Moral March and Moral Mondays, also known as the People’s Protest. Recently, Rev. Barber delivered one of his most remarkable Resistance speeches yet — about one of the most corrupt administrations this country has ever seen.
Millions of Americans first witnessed Rev. Barber’s passion when he spoke at the 2016 Democratic Convention last July. Here is an excerpt from that speech:
“I say to you tonight, there are some issues that are not Left versus Right, Liberal versus Conservative, they are “right versus wrong.” We need to embrace our deepest moral values and push for a revival of the heart of our democracy.”
The news group Now This put together a short video compilation of Rev. Barber speaking in front of the United Steel Workers and it’s bound to inspire even the most weary of Trump protestors.
Here is the video followed by some excerpts:
Video Excerpts:
“Don’t you understand how afraid they are of our unity? Think about it:
- if they had to engage in voter suppression just to win
- if they had to spend pornographic sums of money to divide and conquer us
- if they had to go all the way to Russia and get help just to win…
We are not weak. Somebody fears our unity.
Because you don’t cheat somebody that you can win in a fair fight.
I came by here to say what your theme says: No more separation. Black and white, Latino let’s come together. No more separation... ‘Voting Rights’ is a union issue. ‘Wages’ is a civil rights issue. We need a steadfast togetherness so that our movement won’t have movement fatigue. We can’t bow down.
Now, we must be stronger together. Now, we must fight back together. Now, we must save the soul of this nation together. Now, we must fight for justice together. Now, we must fight for love together. Now, we must save our children’s future together ...”
Amen. Thank you, Rev. Dr. William Barber II.
