Up until, really, Roosevelt, African-Americans largely voted ninety per cent Republican. That was the political origins, that's what their political voice was in the Republican party. During that history, that last sixty or seventy years of history, the Republican party effectively walked away from the community.

And so it's not enough to just to put it on paper, you gotta actually show up and be in the community, and understand what that struggle was really about.
