President Trump Weekly Address - Black History - transforming our communities and about bringing back hope
I want every African-American child, family, and worker to have access to great schools, safe communities, and a good paying job. I want every disadvantaged child in America to have a choice on where they go to school.

The President- My fellow Americans, as Black
0-12
History Month 2017 comes to a close.
0-16
I am very grateful for the many wonderful opportunities to
0-19
honor African American heroes, faith leaders,
0-23
entrepreneurs, and the many others who changed
0-26
the course of our nation.
0-28
We are blessed by the lives and examples of
0-30
those who have made this nation of beacon of
0-33
freedom, talent, and unbreakable
0-36
American spirit.

This week I had the privilege of visiting The
0-41
Nation Museum of African American history and
0-44
culture right here in Washington D.C. It's a new
0-48
beautiful Smithsonian Museum that serves as a
0-51
shining example of African Americans incredible
0-55
contribution to our culture, our Society,
0-59
and our history.
1-00
It also tells of the great struggle for freedom and
1-04
equality that prevailed against the sins of
1-07
slavery and the injustice of discrimination.
1-11
The work and love the people who help create
1-13
such a masterpiece is a testament to the legacy of
1-17
so many leaders it honors.
1-19
I left that museum confident that together
1-23
America can overcome any challenge.
1-26
there's a great quote by Mohamad Ali in the museum
1-29
"I shook up the world."
1-31
He said.
1-32
And that's what he did.
1-33
So did leaders like Sojourner Truth, Frederick
1-37
Douglas, Booker T Washington, Martin Luther
1-40
King and so many others.
1-43
They shook up the world for the better, because
1-45
they inspired our nation to march toward justice
1-48
and freedom for all.
1-50
Today and everyday I pledge to continue that
1-53
march so that every American no matter his
1-56
background, no matter her background has the chance
2-00
to climb that great ladder of success.
2-04
It was very special to accompany Dr. Ben Carson
2-07
and his family for the first time seeing the
2-10
Carson exhibit.
2-12
I am proud that soon he will serve in my cabinet
2-15
as the secretary of housing and
2-17
urban development.
2-18
HUD has a very very powerful meaning, far
2-22
beyond housing.
2-24
Its about transforming our communities about bringing
2-26
back hope, and Ben will do a fantastic job.
2-30
That what im committed to doing also, I want every
2-34
African American child, family, and worker to have
2-37
access to great schools, safe communities and
2-41
good paying job.
2-42
I want every disadvantaged child in America to have a
2-47
choice on where they go to school.
2-49
So Important.
2-50
I also want to honor and promote the achievements
2-53
of historically black colleges and universities
2-57
throughout our nation.
2-58
They do a fantastic job.
3-00
They're not given the credit that they deserve.
3-04
And they're gonna start getting that credit.
3-06
In order to help African Americans thrive were
3-09
working very to make that every child can grow up in
3-12
a safe community and have
3-14
access to high paying jobs.
3-16
We've lost a lot of our best jobs to other
3-19
countries and this has hurt the African American
3-22
community very badly.
3-24
This week I met with manufacturing CEOs were
3-27
going to be working to bring back those jobs, and
3-30
I mean really good paying jobs.
3-33
Ill be talking more about these issues in my joint
3-36
session address to congress and to all
3-38
Americans next Tuesday evening.
3-41
I hope you will be watching.
3-43
Thank you, God bless you.
