“We’ve learned the Pledge of Allegiance since we were children. The action today was not about our allegiance to the flag. Today is about a conversation that America tends to run from, which is the discrimination of Black Americans. The acts of discrimination are a real problem in America. Now is the time to unite and say ‘No more!’” If we decide to sit down during the Pledge of Allegiance or at any given moment, who are you to determine how we get our message out? So we’re going to sit down with Council Member Jumaane Williams. The message to America is: wake up because it’s time for us to shine and be better people.”
