Hopkins, black trans woman, minister at Sacred Souls Community Church in Charlotte, NC: Loving Creator, Let the rain come and wash away the ancient grudges, the bitter hatreds held and nurtured over generations. Let the rain wash away the memory of the heart and neglect. Then, O God, let the sun come out and fill the sky with beautiful rainbows. 2021-05-14 House Journal Page 1064 Let the warmth of the sun heal us wherever we are broken. Let it burn away the fog so that each of us sees each other clearly, so that we can move beyond labels, beyond accents, gender, sexual orientation, or skin color. Let the warmth and brightness of the sun melt our selfishness, so that we can share the joy and sorrow of our neighbors. And let the light of the sun be so strong that we will see all people as our neighbors. Let the earth, nourished by rain, bring forth flowers to surround us with your beauty, and let the mountains teach our hearts to reach upward to heaven. Then, Dear God, grant us comfort, give us peace, and allow us strength to enable us to stand up, fight for, and be a voice for equality. The Pledge of Allegiance was led by Representative Tilton.
