Equiano Hampton, Man and others in “Unfinished Business”

Amen. That's a beautiful sound. Now, I see a lot of familiar faces in this room. Doctors, teachers, artists. And new faces, too. I bring good news. Two days ago, the first shipment of arms arrived from our allies in China. We gonna take this movement to the next stage. Now, I'm not gonna lie. There will be sacrifices. But for us, that price is nothing new. Most everyone in this room has someone got put on a train in the Reich, ain't never came back. For my wife, and my daughter, the train stopped at a camp in Saginaw, Michigan.

Sorry for your loss, brother.

James and Martha. Sorry for your loss, ma'am.

Thank you. [guests start reciting the names of their loved ones and the concentration camps they ended up in]

How about right here in San Francisco, California? [everybody looks at him] William Pullum. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Shot in the back by the Kempeitai nine blocks from here. And that was just last week.

Last week?! This same chain of violence runs through our whole history in this country, from slavery to this very day. You've served your people as doctors, teachers and artists. But tonight? Tonight I'm looking for men and women to be soldiers. Who's ready to be a soldier?
