A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends, and when the sound of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.

At every turn when there has been an imbalance of power, the truth questioned, or our beliefs and values distorted, the change required to restore our nation has always come from the bottom up from our people.
每当出现权力不平衡、真相受到质疑或我们的信仰和价值观受到扭曲时，恢复我们国家所需的变革总是从我们人民的底层开始。
