Powerful remarks by Northwestern District Attorney David E. Sullivan in Northampton MA at a Patrick's Day Breakfast on March 17. 1/2
Sullivan invokes his heritage as an Irish American to call for others to denounce the dehumanizing of immigrants today. Sullivan quotes Thomas Paine to call for Irish Americans to stand up for the country’s constitution and its principles. Sullivan describes the discrimination faced by Irish immigrants, and their fortitude in creating a better life and shaping this country’s history, including during the Civil War when the Irish Brigade made huge battlefield sacrifices. Sullivan calls on his audience to remember the sacrifices made by Irish Americans’ ancestors who fought for equality and liberty for all.
