AOC, NYC Public Advocate Jumaane Williams & Poet Cornelius Eady: Voices from the Mamdani Inauguration

We have chosen courage over fear. We have chosen prosperity for the many over spoils for the few," said Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in her introduction to the historic inauguration of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani as New York City mayor. We feature part of her remarks, along with poet Cornelius Eady, who performed his original poem Proof" during the inauguration ceremony, and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, who began to cry as he addressed part of his speech to his younger self.
