Congressman Hakeem Jeffries
This conversation will be geared towards adults; kids and young adults are also welcome to attend.
“American values over autocracy. Benevolence over bigotry.” So began the rousing finale of the first official speech Congressman Hakeem Jeffries made to Congress on January 7, 2023, upon his historic elevation as House Democratic Leader when he was unanimously elected by his colleagues. Equal parts inspiring and urgent, his speech affirmed the values of our country one letter of the alphabet at a time, and provided a timeless reminder of what will keep the U.S. the greatest democracy in the history of the world.
The ABCs of Democracy brings Rep. Jeffries’ speech to life, including vibrant and colorful illustrations for each letter by Shaniya Carrington. In clever and memorable turns of phrase, he paints an alphabetic road map for a brighter American future with equal opportunities for all and warns of the perils of taking a different path.
Rep. Jeffries represents the diverse Eighth Congressional District of New York and is serving his sixth term in Congress.
