“In my lifetime, I’ve watched the right to vote be eroded by those who deny us our agency ... but the call to action is not a threat, it’s a promise,” said Stacey Abrams, seen here on the red carpet on Oct. 19, 2023. (Rob Moore/The Daily Memphian)
“I’m here to tell you, Memphis, that you have the power to imagine, the power to dream and the power to change,” Abrams said while accepting her award.
