“From the depths of my heart, I thank you, the people of America and you, their representatives, for keeping us in your hearts and minds during the dark years when freedom and justice seemed beyond our reach… This is one of the most moving days of my life, to be here in a house undivided, a house joined together to welcome a stranger from a distant land. Yet I do not feel myself to be a stranger, for I see many familiar faces, and faces that are new to me but known through what they have done for my country and for our cause.”
