Adversity hosted this discussion. The topic of this discussion were about to have his immigration, finding solutions. And i think the first thing we have to do is say what is the problem exactly. And when you start thinking about what is the problem, it goes in a lot of different directions.

[applause] hi, how are you . Good morning. Im the old guy up here [laughter] so history, as you all know, is about words. Thats why youre here. The stately rhythms of the declaration of independence, the cadences of the constitution, but its also about sounds. Its about the muffled drum at lexington and concord and the sound of the surf at omaha beach, the sound of a minister at the march on washington calling on us to live up to the full mean being of our creed. And its also about music. And music is one of the most universe aral expressions. You can listen to a song with which you might disagree more congenially than you could ever listen to a speech about something with which you disagree. Absolutely.
