    Administration of Donald J. Trump, 2020 Remarks in a Meeting With African American Leaders and an Exchange With Reporters February 27, 2020 The President. Well, I want to thank you very much. We're here with some of the Black leaders of our country and people that are highly respected and people that have done a fantastic job and, for the most part, have been working on this whole situation with me right from the beginning. Participants. Yes. Yes. The President. And we've done a lot. We've done Opportunity Zones. We've done criminal justice reform. We've done things that people didn't even think possible. Criminal justice reform—we've let a lot of great people out of jail. Participants. Yes! [Applause] The President. And you know, Alice Johnson is, really, just such a great example. A fine woman. And she doesn't say she didn't do it; she made a mistake. But she was in there for 22 years when we let her out, and she had practically another 20 left. Participant. She did. The President. And that's not appropriate. Alveda King Ministries Founder Alveda C. King. Her children grew up, her grandbabies. The President. Yes, I know. So incredible. And you couldn't produce—there's nobody is Hollywood that could have produced that last scene of her. Ms. King. Amen. Amazing. The President. That was the real deal—of her when she saw her kids. So it's really a fantastic thing. So what I think I do is I'd like to—for the media, I'd like to go around the room, and we can do just a quick introduction of each other.

The data included will provide you with a high-level review of TMCF’s accomplishments in 2016—fulfi lling our vision of Changing the World... One Leader at a Time. TMCF’s growth and presence over the years make me proud of the work we do daily to support our member-schools and assist them with preparing our students to be the next generation of leaders. However, even though we had an incredible year, there is so much more to be done. There are so many more students who need an opportunity o ered, encouragement given, or an obstacle removed in order to achieve their full potential. Even though we do the work, we are keenly aware that nonprofi ts need partners to help develop creative solutions to get and stay on the path to sustainability. And, we’re deeply proud of the community of donors, partners, and supporters who work with us to make this happen. As we prepare for our 30th anniversary next year, we will remain dedicated to ensure that the success of member-schools and students will continue to grow. Our ultimate goal is for TMCF to be the fundamental place WHERE EDUCATION PAYS OFF®.
