Reverend William Barber II gave a powerful speech last night at the Democratic National Convention, shortly before Hillary Clinton gave her acceptance speech.

Barber, president of the North Carolina NAACP and leader of North Carolina’s Forward Together movement spoke about the “heart of our democracy” and “justice for all.” Most notable, the recreant said “We can’t give up on the heart of our democracy”, expanding the message of hope that has come to many after the foundations of the establishment were shaken, though not broken, this election season.

Reverend Barber is known for his civil disobedience campaigns targeted at raising awareness of voting rights, public services, and women and minority rights.

“When we fight to reinstate the power of the voting rights act, and we break the interposition and nullification of the current Congress, we in the south especially know, that when we do that we are reviving the heart of our democracy. The heart of our democracy is on the line this November and beyond.”
