AM Joy devoted her entire show to the #FamiliesBelongTogether protests across the country today and featured this speech at the Atlanta rally by civil rights icon Rep. John Lewis:
LEWIS: You are sending a message. We are sick and tired of seeing little children, seeing little babies taken from their mothers. it's not right. it's not fair. and history will not be kind to us. As a nation and as a people we can do better. Much better. When I listened to those tapes and I heard little children crying, it made me cry.
So I marched in Washington with members of Congress down to the White House. Don't give up. Don't give in. Keep marching. Some of you know when I was very young, had all of my hair and a few pounds lighter, there were people that said we would never get a civil rights act or a voting rights act, but we marched. We were arrested, we were jailed, we were beaten, but we didn't give up. We must not give up.
I will tell you one thing that we all can do, we all can do is continue to appear in our beloved communities. We are one family. We are one family. We all live in the same house, not just the American house, but a world house. We are all brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter if we are black or white, Asian, Latino, we are all one people.
