EXCERPT:
REPORTER: "The things that they are seeing on TV and all of this, how do you explain to the youth when they're seeing the other legacy that's being molded in light of what Martin Luther King, Jr. did?"
GRAHAM: "Well, what I tried to say today it is that America’s not the world’s policeman, but our values in our country really are glue that holds the world together. You can see that when we abandon place, it usually gets worse, not better, until it becomes stable. The glue that holds America together is the life and teachings of Dr. King. We made it this far by focussing on what we have in common; the ability to speak your mind, to elect your leaders, and tp worship God they way you choose or not at all. The discourse right now is pretty low. We’re producing some pretty good policy. But those of us in my business need to up their game. It’s pretty embarrassing when you have to take your children out of the room just to report the news. So the only thing can I do is control me. I can’t make anybody change but me. And I told the folks here today the best way to honor Martin Luther King in 2018 for me is to make sure that we don’t go backward. We may not go forward as fast as we'd like, we may have differences about what forward looks like. But we sure as hell know what backward looks like. And we’re not going backward."
