Thank you for hosting this event. There is obviously too many people here who i love and had known for a long time to shout out everybody individually but i do want to shout out a couple of families. I want to shout out my family you taught me how to be a lawyer. You all taught me how to fight for children [applause]. And i want to give a shout to my snake family. I am wearing my button tonight. Right now im thinking of you all and im thinking of my dad and i know he is here with us. [applause]. I want to talk a little bit about why i wrote this book the first reason is that i dont know if you all are like this. But im the kind of person when i go to a movie and there is no black characters in the movie and then people are thinking about it. Unlike it was pretty good but where were the black people. I feel that way about our history as well. Its really important to me to write a book that has africanamerican characters at the center of the narrative its a book of history and argument.
