Powell: Let us not rest

Staff

Former Secretary of State Colin Powell speaks about the obligation America has towards protecting its citizens and helping each citizen fulfill the American Dream. “Let us remember that there is still minorities in our country, African Americans, Hispanics others who are not in the military who are still looking for that dream who still need to be helped, let us not rest on our laurels. Let’s not rest on our laurels as long as there is one kid out there who grows up wondering ‘can I dream in America? Can I go to the very top?’ The answer has to be yes you can,” stated Powell.
