[applause] this anniversary was hard fought from the days of the Freedom Freedom parade to compton cafeteria riots, to all the work across this country that we continue to do for freedom. And if we look, our theme for this years pride is future of hope. And if we look to the next 50 years, we have a lot to be hopeful for.
