Thank you so much. Thank you for that great introduction.

I was having a little moment back there, so thank you for sharing that story. And it's great to be here today. Thank you so much for having me. I was thinking on my way in about the first time I arrived to Little Rock, Arkansas. I was here then to work […]

Moving Forward in An Inclusive America - March 26, 2019
March 26, 2019
Kumar was the recipient of Austin College's 2019 Posey Leadership Award. Apologies. I just want to make sure that I am respectful of your time. First of all, Antonio, that was an incredible introduction. I had the opportunity to speak to Antonio before coming here and I have to say that his energy, I believe, exemplifies Austin College. He is energized to change the world and he deeply believes in the power of international travel, to seed his ideas, to grow. But he wants to give back as a medical […]

Address to the National Catholic Conference for Interracial Justice - August 25, 1961
August 25, 1961
I see no alternative but that this text must be a personal interpretation of my own experience within the region known as "Dixie." My participation in the movement began in February, 1960, with the lunch counter "sit-ins." I was then a student at Fisk University, but several months ago I interrupted my schoolwork for a year in order to work full time with the movement. My occupation at present is coordinating secretary for the Nashville Nonviolent Movement. I should not with to infer that I speak for the southern movement, […]

ARDERN: [Maori] Madam President, Mr. Secretary-General, friends in the global community, my opening remarks were in Maori the language of the indigenous people of our te reo New Zealand.

I'm struck as a leader attending my first United Nations General Assembly by the power and the potential that resides here, but in New Zealand we have always been acutely aware of that. We are […]
