EXCERPT:

PRESSLEY: “There have been only two black elected governors in the history of this country, Massachusetts had one of them, Deval Patrick. Now more than 230 years, only two black governors. I will make a play. D.C. statehood is a racial justice issue. Racism kills. And I don’t just mean police brutality and hate crimes and food apartheid systems and transportation deserts and unequal access to healthcare. I mean all of that too, but racism kills our democracy.”
