Son to believe that this countrys promise was real. And that son grew up to become attorney general of the united states. And thats something. And thats why erics worked so hard, not just in my administration, but for decades, to open up the promise of this country to more striving, dreaming kids like him. To make sure that those words live, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are made real for all of us. We could not be more grateful for everything youve done for us, not just for me and the administration, but for our country. Attorney general holder was the first African American to hold his position. And the fourth longest serving attorney general in u. S. History. During his nearly six years in office, he championed civil rights, working to reform our criminal justice system, leading to the first decline in the federal prison population in 30 years. And fighting for Voting Rights, a priority he talked about today. Work remains to be done, but our list of accomplishments is real.
