29:40Now PlayingOn Sunday, Democratic presidential candidate Cory Booker warned parishioners of Brown Chapel AME Church of a looming threat to American democracy and called for Americans to protect the legacy of the civil rights movement.
During his keynote address at Brown Chapel, Booker said this is "a moral moment in America, when people are feeling like the forces tearing us apart are stronger than those holding us together."
While he explained some of what ails this country the senator for New Jersey said, "People want to make it just about the people in the highest offices of the land. People who traffic in hatred, people in office that defend Nazis or white supremacists, people that point fingers and forget the lessons of King. What we must repent for are not just the vitriolic words and actions of bad people, but the appalling silence and inaction of good people.”
Booker also offered a remedy to the ills of our time, he proclaimed, “It’s time that we dare to dream again in America. That is what it takes to make America great. It is up to us to do the work that makes the dream real."
