“Wow, thank you so much. Thank you, Reverend Moss. Reverend Otis Moss, the third. Thank you for bringing your grandfather's story to life in such a poignant manner. Now, generations and generations to come will be able to do exactly what you said. We'll be able to know his story. Can you wonder obviously you all thought about what he would think about this? What did you... Oh, tell me this. What did your dad say when he first saw the film?”

“Sounding like your daddy. Here this morning. Okay, I want to tell all of our super soul audience that tomorrow night, Monday night, at 8 p.m. Eastern, 7 Central, I'm asking leaders across many different faiths to gather together in a one-hour program in prayer for our country. I agree we're in a battle for the soul of our nation, and my hope is that Monday night we can be another or have another chance to center ourselves, focus on what really matters, and come together in a prayer for peace and unity. And I hope you join us. You go to www.zoom with opra.com to watch it live and be a part of our big prayer service. All you have to do is register and you can watch it for free. That's at 8 p.m. Eastern tomorrow. And I believe so strongly in your grandfather's story and in this film that I want everybody I know to watch it. And so what we're going to do is have it up on open.”

“Stand Well, yeah, as I've been saying for years, I vote in honor of Otis Moss, so I'm so glad you all have made a film. I want to know, you know, one of the reasons why I like the film so much is because nothing in it speaks about our division except y'all did cast some very nice. Very nice, mean white people. When the woman says, I know that you're not supposed to vote here. Very good casting, very good acting. So, I want to know what is your personal prayer for us where we are now and where we are headed in the next two days.”

“Well, I want to give a shout out to Keith Walker, who was the cinematographer for this. Keith has filmed with me for years. He's my favorite photographer, and I can see his hand, his camera hand, his eye all through this. So bless you for that. I know so many people will see the film and will be moved by the film. What's your intention for what it achieves?”

“Well, I know of what you speak because he's one of the people I admire most in the world. I think his integrity impeccable and doesn't just is not. Just a fine preacher, but such a fine human being and lives the word that has been my experience with your father. So when and how did y'all decide that y'all were going to turn this into stop talking about it and you were going to actually turn it into a film? And let the world know about it.”

“How do you think your dad, Otis Moss Jr., who we see in the film as a young boy, how do you think he was shaped by his father?”

“Yeah, when I think about the risk that was taken, not only Not only if he made it back home, what could have happened to his home? Doing something to your children, to your son. And then your father. In spite of being raised by a single father and having all the difficulties of putting your life together or being able to keep your life together once your father has passed, those were the days where the community came together and said we will take care of this children. Not? Is that what happened?”

“And I was just sharing some thoughts because I've been working all this past week doing many of the swing states, talking to thought leaders and social thought leaders about the importance of voting and trying to rally people around this idea of voting. And it occurred to me after watching this beautiful film that you all just constructed, it occurred to me that to not vote Feels like shaming your ancestors. It is a dishonor. Your ancestors is a dishonor. You are dishonoring those people like your grandfather who got up and got themselves in the best state that they could and knew that they were risking so much because if you can for a moment tell us what Georgia in 1946”

“That was 88. When you grew up hearing it, I heard your father, Reverend Otis Moss, Jr., tell the story at a prayer breakfast for the Black Caucus. So that had to be in the early 80s or late 70s when I first heard it. And it impacted me, as I've said often, it impacted me for life, that story. And I want to know when you became aware of what it really meant. I mean, because there's one thing, you're a young boy, you're hearing the story and, oh yeah, that's your grandfather. But when did it impact you? And when you went into the voting booth yourself, did you carry the image of your grandfather with you, as I have done since I heard the story?”

“Such a pleasure. So, I just want to say when is the first time, you know, I just saw a clip of me, I was telling the stories in the 80s. So it must have been the early 80s when I”

“I've often wondered how Otis Moss felt when he got to that last polling place and told it was closed, what must have been going through his mind and how tired he would have been and how hot the day would have been and his mind on that long walk home, what was on his mind, what was he thinking about? Now I want to welcome the man responsible who may have some answers to those questions, the man responsible for the powerful film you just saw. Otis' grandson, Reverend Otis Moss III. Hello, Reverend.”

“And now I'm having what I've always called a full circle moment because Otis Boss's remarkable story has now been made into a beautiful short film titled Otis' Dream. Now for me, it's both heartbreaking and also inspiring at the same time. So I urge you to watch this film and then share it with a friend, share it with a family member because here's the fundamental question. Do you want your voice to be heard and think about the price that has been paid for your voice to be heard? So after we watch Otis' dream, I'll be joined by Reverend Otis Moss III. He is the original Otis Moss's grandson for a conversation about his grandfather's story and the legacy that he's left. So stay tuned. We'll be right back. With my interview. And now, here is Otis' dream.”

“And he had to tell them his father had to tell them that he didn't have a chance to vote because he went to the wrong place and was denied the right to vote. And by the time the next election rolled around, Otis Moss' father was dead. And so he says that every election he votes in the name of his father. And I carry that on in the name of his father and all the fathers and mothers who didn't have the chance. Remember that tomorrow when you're thinking, oh, I don't know. I'm so busy. I don't know if I can get it. Remember there was an entire suffragette movement for women in this country to have a right to say, I have a choice. I have a choice. So exercise that choice, okay? Thank you very much.”

“Who am I being true to first myself or my country? I don't want to be a hypocrite in going there and not vote for somebody that might do the job right. I don't know. I just feel that, let me tell you this story. There's a Reverend Otis Moss in Cleveland who told this story in a sermon that he gave. He was born in a little town, I think, in Georgia. I can't remember the name of the town. I'll try to make the story brief. He says he remembers the day his father as a black man was first given the right to vote. His father walked six miles to the voting poll. He got there and the people told him there, you're in the wrong place, boy. He walked another eight miles to the voting poll, and they said, you're in the wrong place. You should be seven miles up. He walked another seven miles up and got there and it was too late to vote. After his father walked all those miles back home, the children were waiting to see Daddy. What did it feel like as a black man to vote for the first time?”

“Start with Norma and Mia. I'm trying to remain totally unbiased during this show, but I will start with you all because as black people in this country, I just find it difficult to believe that you're not going to vote for somebody since so many of our people died for the right to vote. I can't believe it. So you have to address that issue for me first. Well, I guess basically I feel that”

“And where we can slow down, center ourselves, and focus on what really matters. Now, what's most important to me is that as American citizens, we exercise our sacred privilege, our right to vote, because there are millions of people who came before us and who are living now around the world, who didn't and don't have that same right. It is my fervent desire that we do not take the vote for granted. And I want to show you a clip from the Oprah Show back in 1988, I think, where I explained over 32 years ago the reason why I always vote. I've been telling the story for years, if you haven't heard it, here it is.”

Your journey to become more inspired and connected to the deeper world around us starts right now. Hi to everybody watching and listening on Super Soul Sunday with the election just a couple of days away.
