Michigan Republican Senate candidate John James dazzled a packed audience at CPAC in Washington, D.C., on Saturday as he told his story of how the American dream enabled his family to go from being slaves to him running for U.S. Senate.
“We must show them an America where the son of a slave can become a sharecropper, the son of a sharecropper can become a mason, the son of a mason can become a truck driver, and the son of that truck driver can stand before you here today on the brink of becoming Michigan’s first black U.S. Senator,” James said toward the end of his speech.
