“Pain has always resulted in significant gain in this great country of ours. The Irish poet Seamus Heaney captured what lives in the heart of the vast majority of Americans – 'History says don’t hope on this side of the grave; but, then, once in a lifetime the longed-for tidal wave of justice can rise up, and hope and history rhyme.' It always rises up in the face of big challenges. We have a chance, and you have the means to help this country make hope and history rhyme." Vice-President Joseph Biden.
