They tried to dream a big dream over the last couple of months.
Tonight, they are trading in a lot of hope for a lot of hurt.
He added that Black women had been hoping to see themselves mirrored in their leader for the first time.
And, once again, they are facing rejection, and that hurts.
They thought tomorrow morning they are going to walk out with their shoulders back a little bit.
Maybe be able to breathe for the first time, and belong someplace.
Jones also expressed concern for other minorities, many of which Trump disparaged during his campaign.
That doesnt feel good.
There are going to be people cleaning your teeth tomorrow who dont have papers.
They are terrified tonight.
They are going to wake up tomorrow in a nightmare.
But we will find a way through.
