Yoshiko Dart, on receiving AAPDs Justice for All Award, July 26, 2005
Happy 15, ADA! Happy 10, AAPD!
Beloved colleagues and friends in justice, I love you! Justin loved you
and will continue to love you!
Thank you all very much for your great leadership and hard work for
democracy!
I humbly accept this Special Award of AAPD, as a symbolic representative
of all the patriots here today and those hundreds of thousands from Sea
to Shining Sea throughout America, who have fought and continue to fight
for justice and democracy. I accept it in the spirit of solidarity and
unity. I accept it with great honor and responsibility.
You are the recipients of this Award. It belongs equally to all the past
patriots, famous and unknown, who were pioneers in the wilderness. They
fought hard and died for us. Thank you! Congratulations!
Please take a moment of silence to feel the presence, the passion and the
loving spirit of all those who are not with us today and meditate over
our future course and responsibility. Let us rededicate our lives to
the spirit of civil rights for all that gave birth to the ADA. Let us
vow together to use our power to make the American Dream live in every
life. Thank you.
I am delighted to see many young people here in this room today. I love
you! Let all of us, young and old; embrace each other in reverence for
individual human life. Let us go forward together no matter how long it
takes to empower ALL.
We do have the power. We do have the responsibility. Let us act!
Together we have overcome. Together, but only together united in love
and truth, we shall overcome.
I love you all! Lead on! Lead on!
Thank you!
Yoshiko Dart
