[00:02:31.890]You know, we're thinking about,
[00:02:32.800]there seven days in the week not five,
[00:02:34.870]there are 12 hours in the day, not eight.
[00:02:38.050]There are venues that we wouldn't normally use

[00:03:43.070]We are standing here together as black and white people
[00:03:45.930]making it clear that we are sickened
[00:03:47.730]by the events taking place in our country

[00:03:52.680]No one should have to handle the death of their child,
[00:03:55.370]brother, sister, mother, and justice killed.

[00:04:57.460]Through our tenacity and resilience
[00:04:59.790]today, we're wrapping up a successful fall semester
[00:05:03.000]like non other.

[00:05:07.570]Two, three weeks sessions are offered to UNL students
[00:05:10.650]in December and January.

[00:05:17.470]that's less than working for a company you admire
[00:05:21.580]or people you admire, and really the job that is...
[00:05:24.960]If you didn't, if they had no need for the money
[00:05:27.070]it's still the job that you jump out of bed for
[00:05:29.690]in the morning.
[00:05:30.523]There is nobody I would rather be than
[00:05:34.680]graduating from the University of Nebraska today.
