Rep. Jeffries speech was inspiring

January 22, 2023 5:15 pm • Last Updated: February 07, 2023 11:21 am

The Day’s choices for the opinion page on MLK Day were all outstanding. Somehow I missed Democratic Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries “alphabet speech.” Thank you for printing Jennifer Rubin’s recounting of the speech in an excellent column. It was inspiring, creative, and true and worth repeating in hopes of the wider audience it deserves.
