Mr. Mayor, i embrace the on thecance of the award consequence of the organization presenting the award. And you do the same thing. The consequence of the people behind the award.

[laughter] joyce represents the district, which includes the town most people dont realize is one of the biggest towns in the state, city in the state. We were doing something that joyce fought a long time for, i wanted folks to know. We are changing the administration, the role that constitutes over time. It will give a pay raise to 4. 5 Million People who deserve it, people who are mislabeled management who are working 70 hours a week and getting paid for 40. We change that yesterday and we did it in your hometown. [applause] marc when i heard was standing backstage say, when he invited me, i came. Yall cant get rid of me. Whe been chasing you my ole career. I meant what i said, although we did not have an urban lake in inmington an urban league wilmington for the longest time. Aa,ot my start with the nc and i literally mean i got my start. I was involved in the civil rights movement, sitting in church is on sundays and getting ready to go out and marched. It was interesting. There was a guy named jim gilliam, it was a great civil rights leader in my town. He moved into delaware right around the time i was Getting Started as a young lawyer. I got out of law school and had a good job with, what are they call, a white shoe law firm. Therey after six months was a federal court is with honorable men and women. We won this court is representing a corporation and i realize, this isnt for me. Cornerd cap thaddy to the building that housed the Public Defenders Office and i asked for a job as a public defender. In 1968. Ed i came home and like all of heroes. Y two i dont have a lot of heroes, but those i had were dr. King and bobby kennedy. Dr. King was assassinated that spring. And my town was one of the towns that literally went up in flames. We were one of the only towns occupied by the National Guard for nine months. People were standing on the corners with drawn b they bayonettes. Ther work did not move me at all that i was doing. And so, along came this guy named jim gilliam. And he was an incredible guy. Tony had a guy named working for me. Where are you, tony . Tony worked for me, as i said earlier. He said he wanted to get a phd, and i said, go ahead and get it while you are working for me. And then, the son of a gun left me. He got a pdh and figured, hey, im way ahead of joe biden, ive got to move on. [laughter] joe biden you have been incredible. For the past 100 years, the urban league has led the fight for Racial Justice with an emphasis all the time on economic opportunity, not just basic fairness, but o economic opportunity. I was talking to my younger Staff Members when i prepared for this last night flying back from your hometown. Ncaa, you know, the and those of us who play little parts like me, removed from the back of the bus to the front of the bus, but you guys are working with the devil. [laughter] [applause] joe biden no, it matters. It matters. And you all recognize that institutions are the overwhelming problems of the legacy of the institutional racism, which we still live with. Nobody wants to say that. I know i sometimes speak out too loudly, but i make no apologies for it. It is no joke. Sometimes it is uncomfortable. But these are uncomfortable times. You have got to shake the status quo a little bit. You know, we see this institutional racism exist today. We see this in voting, in childrens education. Makeup of our neighborhoods, housing patterns, employment, transportation, access to transportation. For more than 100 years, members of this organization have awakened the American People to the realities of the myths. If we let the rest of the country know what the problem is, honestly, they will react to it. Arent bad, they just know what is going on. They are working with the devil just to put three squares a on the table a dqy. Three squares on the table a day. They are not familiar in a real sense until you bring it to them. You bring it to them. Whato, we found out that happened is the urban leagues executive director back when i was a kid, he was one of the guys we all looked to, whitney young. He proposed a dramatic marshall plan. Is unlike what the mayor talking about, but it was really consequential at the time and became the foundation, the foundation for the war on poverty. I never knew lyndon johnson. The year he died and i attended his funeral as a 30 role kid who just got funeral as a 30yearold kid who just got elected to the United States senate. This guy did more than anybody else did for civil rights. That war on poverty was about medicaid and the institution, but he knew that if an africanamerican child, or a working family did not have access to health care, to be healthy, everything got lost. Everything got lost. , medicaid was the single biggest beneficiary immediately with africanamericans. There had been no health care coming into those communities. Housing, the mayor new africanamericans could not achieve success unless they lived in safe places. The playground you can set your kid to, you dont want to worry that they are going to come home beat up. You want to send them to a Public School that you know they have a chance to mabye, maybe, maybe, maybe go to college. Maybe. Only 7 did those days. We are still not that far along. It is just 20 now, by then it was just 7 . A headstart, because he knew, they knew, long before anybody wanted to admit it, that it really mattered. It really mattered, those eraly arly years. We now know it matters from the time they bring the baby home from the hospital. H we could do,ch be goo put it matters. Headstart was all about saying, the fact of the matter is, we are behind the curve, we have to give you a headstart. The headstart was not to get ahead, it was just too maybe catch up. All of those guys talking about bell curves back in those days, remember . How black children did not have the same cognitive people ability of white children, give me a break. [laughter] really. N no, no, no thank god, young people in the world may not remember that, but that was standard operating procedure. That is what headstart was about. Been, as someve of you know, ive been a very strong supporter of hbcus. That used to be hbcs. Now does hbcus. Think that event i think i have been to more hbcus than anybody else has in my job. It was sort of a big sign back there that said, hope. Um, and pell grants. What are pell grants about . It wasnt just africanamericans, but you had to be poor. You had to have a low income. And we would give you assistance to get to college. That you couldnt get before. Well, guess what . The majority of black folks were poor. So it mattered. It mattered. And job corps. President knew he couldnt see economic success without a stable, decent paying job. The whole point was, it didnt solve the problems. But its the first time in my view in our history a president faced squarely the economic realities of what was 250 years of institutional racism. Some of it not intended but just built into the system, baked into the cake. Baked into the cake. And it mattered. Mr. Mayor, everything you guys have done and worked on has been worked off of. Those basic fundamental principles that underlie every one of the great societys programs. Its always talk about the money and whether its wasted or not. It was the principle behind each of these things. The Democratic Party just finally established, put a stamp on it. So, nobody argues today that malnutrition doesnt affect mentalmental developmental capabilities. Back then, it was viewed as separate. No one argues today. We argue about whether were going to do anything about it. But im serious. Think about it. And so, the irony here is that when the president and i took office, you all know, the economy was in free fall. Im not going to recount how bad it was. You know how bad it was, because it was particularly bad for poor folk, and particularly bad for africanamerican and hispanic poor folk. They were hit the hardest. Last in, first out. If they were in, they were out. Before i lowered my right hand from being sworn in on january 20, wed already lost 776, i think that is the number. 776,000 jobs that month alone. We lost over 800,000 before the month ended. And for the next four months, we lost 800,000 jobs a month. So when the president and i, and we did, the president and i, with real expert help, but we sat on the 60th, 70th story of that building in chicago during the interregnum period between being elected and being sworn in, putting together the cabinet and putting together the details of what we were going to do, we came up with a thing called the recovery act. Turned out to be almost 1 trillion. Thanks to the help of the congresswoman in here and the congressmen and senators, we barely passed it. Remember, my friend harlan specter, i convinced to change parties. He voted with us, and it passed. [laughter] joe biden no, not figuratively. Literally. It was not passing until that point. It not only kept the economy, now 85, i think thats the number, the university of chicago, a brilliant institution, not the most liberal one. The school of chicago economics, i think they did a survey and it said 84 of economists said it helped prevent depression or raise us out of a significant recession. But we wanted to do more than that. You tell me if im taking too much time, ok . [laughter] joe biden sorry. But i think this is really its the reason why were in, the reason why were doing what were doing, man. I come from a wealthy state of delaware. Ive always gotten great support. I won big in the state. By won seven times in the senate. In the corporate state of america, i dont have anything against rich folk, i mean that. Theyre as patriotic as poor folks, but they dont need me. Rich folks dont need me to look out for their interests. Thats not why i ran. Thats not why i got involved. Protect their security, but theyre going to do ok without joe biden out there hollering for them. Unless you all are hollering for the people were with, theyre not going to do ok. Theyre not going to do ok. So heres the point. The thing thats missed about the recovery act that we didnt advertise it, didnt hide it, but didnt advertise it. We used that almost 1 trillion, 840 billion, i think it was, spent in it 18 months, and by the way, every outside group, you may remember when the president said sheriff joe will now enforce it. Ok, well, sheriff joe is proud. Every outside organization points out, less than 0. 2 wasted fraud. The
