Im asking you today, my brothers. If we could get our minds together, the red and the black, we are the majority. We wouldnt have to ask for equality and justice because we could raise our finger and they would give it to us. The only problem we have is weve got an enemy out there. An enemy that we see every morning in the mirror. Until we straighten that one out, we dont have to worry about the white man or anybody else. We have to worry about each other. Straighten ourselves out, my brother. Lets come together, the red and the black. We are the majority. And whatever we want, we can have. You are the only ones, you who were brought here against force, you are the only ones we have accepted. The rest are here, we didnt bring them. So theyre telling me to stop. Weve given you 500 years. They only give us about five minutes. So thank you. Islam, ready for the revolution. Weve come today in the spirit of my brother chief abdul mohammed. Ready for the revolution. The elders told us when we walked across the country it took six months because there were 11 bills in front of the legislation to take away our hunting, fishing and water rights and everything else. They said this building, we were here before this building and well be here after this building. We want people to understand that obama needs to free leonard paltiere.

I am proud to be here on behalf of the native american young people, young folks. Standing in solidarity, demanding justice. Justice or else. Justice or else. A specific justice. An injustice we must correct is that native folks have been weve been antagonized by the same monster that has antagonized so many people of color. Its called the papal bull.

It is an island to be here not just so that we could be introduced to one another but so we can be reunited as we were in the beginning. We are one people. When we are united. But what has been missing is we have been deprived of that knowledge which will allow us to see one another as we are and see ourselves as we are. Today is not a day where were being introduced to one another, today is the day that the family is coming back together with one cry and one purpose, and that is for justice or else.

We remember our history so that we know who we are. We look back so we know how to move forward. Today we look back on our beginnings when we were one with our own lands. We look back on the conquerers who broke up your families, placed us in chains in slavery. Lynched our men, took our lands and imposed governments of oppression on the continents of the americas. We look back to remember that we are the original people. We remember the struggles of our ancestors that won independence in mexico and latin america. We won freedom from slavery and jim crowe here in the north but still faced oppression and discrimination. We are the people. We are mexicanos. The people of the south, make no doubt, [ speaking Foreign Language ]. These places were stolen from our people, but its still our land. Today i want to say on behalf of the mexicanos and the latino community, we honor minister Louis Farrakhan. [ applause ] we know the people of the south came in a forced migration. We didnt come here because we liked the weather. We came here because we were looking for work, not the american dream. It was a nightmare that this country had placed in our countries that forced us to leave. But i tell you now and i declare that we are fruitful and we have multiplied and we have become more numerous than all the stars in the sky, united, black and brown unity. No more deportations. No more family separation. With or without papers, we join the Africanamerican Community to elect a president. Then we marched in the largest, most largest mobilizations in the history of this country to say we are a people of resistance, black and brown unity, no one is illegal. Latino community has found unity, defend our families and the next generation just as the Africanamerican Community has found unity to stop the Police Murder and mass incarcerations. It is the love of god that gives us unity and unity which gives us power. We are united. We are the new majority of this nation. There are some that would like to deny this and theyre using hatred and racism. But they cant delay the inevitable they have created an american apartheid. We demand the end of mass deportations and mass incarcerations. We demand justice or else for the 43 disappeared students. We demand freedom for oscar lopez, the longest held puerto rican prisoner. Freedom for nelson serrano, 13 years in prison facing right now in prison and also on death row. Were asking freedom because we are the new majority. In florida they would like to execute innocent persons in nelson serrano. We are one people, one nation. Thank you. Gracias. [ speaking Foreign Language ] justice.

[ speaking Foreign Language ] all praises due to allah. A special salute to our leader and teacher the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan. Before i introduce the person i am assigned to introduce, i want to thank a few people. I want to thank the mayor of the city of washington d. C. For her graciousness and kindness and assistance that she extended to us when we came into washington to begin to organize this event. I want to thank her staff person, tamika mitchell. Not only that, i want to thank chief dime, chief of the capitol police. We started off things a little rocky, but we worked it out. And his staff people. Janeta mitchell, captain janeta mitchell and sergeant byrd. On our team, abdul mohammed, our illustrious counsel, and member of our national board. Minister byrd secretary bervie mohammed. You all dont know how much it means to us to finally see this Great Results that i am looking at from this podium. Its a beautiful sight to see, and thank all of us and our brothers and sisters for attending this important event to hear the timely message from the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan. But we needed permission to be here from the government. Even though we shouldnt need permission. But we did have a brother in the congress who has assisted us in the past in this regard. He went to congress and went to the senate and was able to produce a resolution, a joint resolution, a unanimous resolution for us to gather here, again. This is a historic resolution, a resolution because we dont come this time to say atonement, reconciliation and responsibility. They like that. So that was an easy resolution for us to have. But when we wanted to introduce a resolution that said justice or else, it became a little sticky, a little difficult. Some didnt like that theme. But i cant wait for the honorable minister Louis Farrakhan to get here. To say to the whole world what or else means. And so, please help me bring to this podium a man who has been here before, who has stood here three other times to take responsibility for the resolution that we received from his office. He is a member of congress for years, and now the powerful ways and means committee. Congressman, we need ways. We need what we need. And we want justice. Help me bring before you congressman danny k. Davis of illinois, my friend and my brother. Thank you so much. [ applause ] thank you. Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you, brother leonard. 20 years ago i was not a member of congress. But i was here with three busloads of men, women and children from chicago who had come with me. Three busloads of men, women and children who had come with the hope of helping to usher in a new day. A brighter day, a new tomorrow. A new sense of fairness of justice, of equal opportunity, of equal treatment and equal protection under the law. I was here ten years ago and was pleased to have submitted the concurrent resolution obtaining use of the Capitol Grounds for a tenyear commemoration of the million man march. Just as i am pleased to have been the sponsorer of the concurrent resolution permitting us to be here today for these activities. On the Capitol Grounds. First and foremost, i want to commend and congratulate minister Louis Farrakhan for his visionary leadership, for his great messages promoting peace, unification, equal rights, equal justice and equal protection under the law.
