00:00 I'm Jill Painter Lopez for Sports Illustrated, joined by Melissa Rowland.
00:07 And Melissa, there is a new elected mayor in Ferguson, Missouri, and LeBron James weighed
00:12 in on the new mayor.
00:13 What did he have to say?
00:14 Well, Ella Jones made history by becoming the first black mayor of Ferguson, and LeBron
00:20 James expressed some heartfelt congratulations to her in a tweet.
00:24 He said, "A rose has cracked through the concrete."
00:27 Obviously, this is a step in the right direction.
00:30 The more black people who are elected to positions of power, the more change that can be affected.
00:34 So this is obviously very good for our nation, and LeBron James essentially said, "Hopefully
00:39 we keep this up."
