dawn to dusk in his suit, his feet tired, getting to the rosemont school, and they say, boy, you too late. the polls are closed. and he never had a chance to vote. by the time the next election came around, he had died. so when i go to the polls and i cast my ballot, i cast it for a man i never knew. i cast it for otis moss sr., who walked 18 miles one day just for the chance to vote. [ applause ] >> joining me now, reverend otis moss jr. and derek johnson, president and ceo of the naacp. so glad to have both of you on. reverend, you first. thank you for being here and thank you to your father because his story speaks to what so many people of color and women and other disenfranchised people went through to vote.
