Today the 45th President of the United States stood on the steps of the Capitol Building and swore under oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. Donald Trump raised his right palm and solemnly promised to serve the American citizens and lead our country.
He won the election with a platform built on bigotry, hatred, and intolerance. The roots were pulled up from the soil that rested from the Civil Rights movement. It is domestic and strong. It is our own.
When the shovel of the great patriot buried the oppressed and named it a landslide victory, he had no idea he planted a seed that will blossom.
In the shadow of President Donald Trump’s Inauguration, multitudinous demonstrations are demanding to not be heard, but listened to, and to not be watched, but understood. From the capital of the free-world to Berlin, Paris, Brussels, and other cities, their message expands across the sphere of the world.
A generation of allies is growing. They are using their voice and they are making moves to progress forward. It is a patient movement that envisions resilience and tolerance. It is built on hope and motivated by change. The hands of every race, gender, and religion are holding hands and fighting back.
One day, they are going to be old enough to stand on the steps of Capitol Building and swear under oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.
