TRANSCRIPT:
JEFFRIES: "We think what Dr. King was saying to us is that in this world, there’s some good folks, there's some rough folks. For the good folks to be able to prevail, you’ve gotta be willing to continue to stand up, step up, speak up, show up. And things aren’t necessarily gonna happen instantaneously. It didn’t for Dr. King, it didn't for Rosa Parks, it didn't for Fannie Lou Hamer or John Lewis, on A. Philip Randolph, but Roy Wilkins, by Adam Clayton Powell jr., Shirley Chisholm and we're inspired by Hugo Chavez — Cesar Chavez. We are inspired by all of these leaders, their struggles, their civil rights struggles."
