“I believe in the American promise,” Myrick said. “I was born into homelessness and raised by a single mother. Thanks to supportive people and policies, I had the opportunity to attend Cornell University and serve a city I love. I am grateful and eager to lead People For the America Way’s work to defend truth, justice, and the American Way so that generations of others will have the same opportunities.”
People For the American Way founder @thenormanlear said that Myrick gives him hope in hard times. “Nothing encourages me more than committed young people taking the torch and running with it,” Lear said. “And no one impresses me more than Svante Myrick. He makes me believe in the future.”
Here’s to an exciting new chapter! Cheers to Ben and Svante! | Posted on 15/Nov/2022 07:43:29
