00:00My name is John Legend, and I was born as John R.
00:05Stevens from a place called Springfield, Ohio.
00:10Oh, Springfield, Ohio.
00:12You may have heard of Springfield, Ohio this week.
00:15In fact, if you watched the debate, we were discussed by our presidential
00:21candidates, including a very special, interesting man named Donald J.
00:28Trump.
00:29Now, Springfield has had a large influx of Haitian immigrants
00:37who have come to our city.
00:39They usually do very well here.
00:42They are hardworking, they're ambitious, they commit less crime
00:49than native born Americans, and they will assimilate and integrate in time.
00:57But it takes time.
00:59So I think all of us need to have the same kind of grace that we would want
01:04our ancestors to have when they moved here with our Haitian brothers and
01:09sisters who moved here too.
01:11And nobody's eating cats, nobody's eating dogs.
