 Reverend Jackson, thank you so much for the opportunity to talk to you. How important or what role do you see that students can play in creating change, social change? One thing students have today, it didn't have 50 years ago, was the right to vote. We paid a big price for the right to vote. After all, for 246 years, African Americans could not vote. And long after that, women could vote with the 23rd Amendment around 1922 or 24. And so it's one level. It's not the only level. There may be demonstrations and agitation and litigation, legislation and registration. All that matters, but the vote's a big deal. Looking back, how crucial was it for students to lead activism back in the 50s and the 60s? Students basically came south and led the drive to illegal apartheid and illegal segregation. Right. And for that price, Sri Lanka and the China through Jews and black were killed. For that price, Vala Luzo, an Italian-American mother, a UAW mother from Michigan was killed. We paid a bloody price for ending legal apartheid because there were those so vested in keeping us apart. And I found that the people are vested in keeping us apart because they explored our apartness. If you plant two seeds in the ground of equal strength, put a wall between them, one will grow taller with multiples of fruit, one will be stunted. It does not mean this one is better, this one is less. It means the one that had photosynthesis and sunshine grew. But worse than that, when we were separated by a wall on the other side of the wall, there's ignorance, fear, hatred and violence. But when the wall comes down, we can see each other anew on the football field. And the game is over, we shake hands and we embrace. What allows us to do so well on the field, relations and talents? Because whenever the playing field is even and the rules are public and the goals are clear, the referees are fair and the scores transparent, we all can get along. Whether it's the U of M or the Olympics, even playing field is a big deal. So one generation fought to end segregation as a matter of law. Another generation fought for the right to vote. So now fighting to reduce student loan debt, student loan debt, credit card debt, it costs too much to go to school. Many students with the best minds can't even apply to attend. So it's much fight to make sure that the Voting Rights Act remains enforced and protected. And now the Voting Rights Act is in jeopardy because they remove the protected right to vote. They try to move the vote off the campuses in North Carolina. We cannot let that happen. And so voting matters. Affordable health care, students can fight for that. Fight right in Ann Arbor. It's not enough to come to the University of Michigan and live in your silo. You must learn to live in the real world. The University of Missouri became almost the poster child around the country for diversity in higher ed. How important is it? What do you think is missing? The football field, not in the classrooms, not in the faculty, not in tenured professors. And the football team said they would not play football unless it was addressed. It was in the field of that economic engine and PR or magnet called football. That's what captured the nation's attention. Thank you so much Reverend. Can I say something? Sure. I would think that Dr. King would find a certain joy in this moment. He would urge us in the classrooms watching this taping. You're the classmate with whom you're not comfortable. I mean, a roommate. Don't eat in your silo. Identify your own ethnic can, your own religious group, or your athletic partners. But join the university, the university tops, the university community. If you come to the university mission four years later, and you've learned that lesson, you can cope with a challenging world. If you've just learned how to survive in your silo, you live beneath your privilege. So learn to live, share, and grow together. Thank you, Reverend. Right.
