Murgia Address at Birmingham Breakfast

National Council of La Raza’s Janet Murguia was the first Latino/a ever to address Birmingham’s Annual Unity Breakfast in honor of Doctor King’s birthday this morning – she used the occasion to highlight the hate in the current political debate, particularly about immigration.  Despite some initial rumblings that it was pretty unorthodox to ask a Latina to give the speech, it was really well-received – lots of Amens throughout and a standing ovation at the end. 
The part on hate speech can be found hereentire speech.

Thanks to Cecilia Munoz for the information.
