Twenty-three years ago,
0
12790
2605
Pre 23 godine,
00:15
at the age of 19,
1
15395
2755
kada sam imao 19 godina,
00:18
I shot and killed a man.
2
18150
3301
upucao sam i ubio čoveka.
00:21
I was a young drug dealer
3
21451
2143
Bio sam mladi diler droge
00:23
with a quick temper
4
23594
2369
sa prgavom naravi
00:25
and a semi-automatic pistol.
5
25963
4055
i poluatuomatskim pištoljem.
00:30
But that wasn't the end of my story.
6
30018
2771
Ali to nije bio kraj moje priče.
00:32
In fact, it was beginning,
7
32789
4141
Zapravo, bio je početak,
00:36
and the 23 years since
8
36930
2175
i 23 godine kasnije
00:39
is a story of acknowledgment,
9
39105
3722
postala je priča o priznanju,
00:42
apology and atonement.
10
42827
3483
izvinjenju i iskupljenju.
00:46
But it didn't happen in the way
11
46310
1423
Ali se nije dogodilo na način
00:47
that you might imagine or think.
12
47733
3294
na koji biste mogli da zamislite.
Te stvari su se dogodile u mom životu
00:51
These things occurred in my life
13
51027
1458
00:52
in a way that was surprising,
14
52485
2143
na način koji je bio iznenađujuć
00:54
especially to me.
15
54628
1635
posebno za mene.
00:56
See, like many of you,
16
56263
3141
Kao mnogi od vas,
00:59
growing up, I was an honor roll student,
17
59404
2574
odrastajući, bio sam cenjen i uzoran učenik,
01:01
a scholarship student,
18
61978
1343
sa stipendijom
01:03
with dreams of becoming a doctor.
19
63321
2604
i snovima da postanem doktor.
01:05
But things went dramatically wrong
20
65925
2631
Ali su stvari dramatično krenule loše
01:08
when my parents separated
21
68556
2174
kada su mi se roditelji rastali
01:10
and eventually divorced.
22
70730
3837
i na kraju razveli.
01:14
The actual events are pretty straightforward.
23
74567
2850
Sami događaji su prilično jednostavni.
01:17
At the age of 17,
24
77417
2448
Sa 17 godina
01:19
I got shot three times
25
79865
1645
upucan sam tri puta
01:21
standing on the corner of my block in Detroit.
26
81510
4625
dok sam stajao na uglu mog bloka u Detroitu.
01:26
My friend rushed me to the hospital.
27
86135
2695
Prijatelj me je odvezao u bolnicu.
01:28
Doctors pulled the bullets out,
28
88830
3224
Doktori su izvukli metke,
01:32
patched me up,
29
92054
1791
zašili me
01:33
and sent me back to the same neighborhood where I got shot.
30
93845
4371
i poslali me nazad u isti kraj gde sam upucan.
01:38
Throughout this ordeal,
31
98216
2755
Kroz ovo teško iskustvo,
01:40
no one hugged me,
32
100971
2060
niko me nije zagrlio,
01:43
no one counseled me,
33
103031
2370
niko me nije posavetovao,
01:45
no one told me I would be okay.
34
105401
2940
niko mi nije rekao da ću biti dobro.
01:48
No one told me that I would live in fear,
35
108341
2924
Niko mi nije rekao da ću živeti u strahu,
01:51
that I would become paranoid,
36
111265
2613
da ću postati paranoičan
01:53
or that I would react hyper-violently
37
113878
2993
ili da ću reagovati hiperagresivno
01:56
to being shot.
38
116871
2378
na to što sam upucan.
01:59
No one told me that one day,
39
119249
2821
Niko mi nije rekao da ću jednog dana
02:02
I would become the person behind the trigger.
40
122070
4057
postati osoba iza obarača.
02:06
Fourteen months later,
41
126127
2674
Četrnaest meseci kasnije
02:08
at 2 a.m.,
42
128801
2610
u 2 ujutru,
02:11
I fired the shots
43
131411
1636
ispucao sam metak
02:13
that caused a man's death.
44
133047
3853
koji je izazvao čovekovu smrt.
02:16
When I entered prison,
45
136900
1910
Kada sam ušao u zatvor,
02:18
I was bitter, I was angry, I was hurt.
46
138810
5507
bio sam ogorčen, besan, povređen.
02:24
I didn't want to take responsibility.
47
144317
2970
Nisam hteo da preuzmem odgovornost.
02:27
I blamed everybody from my parents
48
147287
2052
Krivio sam svakoga, od roditelja
02:29
to the system.
49
149339
2973
do čitavog sistema.
02:32
I rationalized my decision to shoot
50
152312
2212
Racionalizovao sam svoju odluku da pucam
02:34
because in the hood where I come from,
51
154524
2439
jer u kraju odakle potičem
02:36
it's better to be the shooter
52
156963
1626
bolje je da pucate
02:38
than the person getting shot.
53
158589
3312
nego budete upucani.
02:41
As I sat in my cold cell,
54
161901
3322
Dok sam sedeo u hladnoj ćeliji,
02:45
I felt helpless,
55
165223
1647
osećao sam se bespomoćno,
02:46
unloved and abandoned.
56
166870
3387
nevoljeno i napušteno.
02:50
I felt like nobody cared,
57
170257
3878
Osećao sam da nikoga nije briga
02:54
and I reacted
58
174135
2019
i reagovao sam
02:56
with hostility to my confinement.
59
176154
3011
sa negodovanjem prema svom zatočeništvu.
02:59
And I found myself getting
60
179165
1138
Onda sam osetio kako tonem
03:00
deeper and deeper into trouble.
61
180303
2315
sve dublje i dublje u nevolju.
03:02
I ran black market stores,
62
182618
2780
Vodio sam prodavnicu na crnoj berzi,
03:05
I loan sharked,
63
185398
2719
zelenašio sam
i prodavao drogu koja je ilegalno krijumčarena
03:08
and I sold drugs that were illegally smuggled
64
188117
2066
03:10
into the prison.
65
190183
1861
u zatvor.
03:12
I had in fact become
66
192044
1570
Zapravo sam postao
03:13
what the warden of the Michigan Reformatory called
67
193614
2681
ono što bi upravnik popravnog doma u Mičigenu nazvao
03:16
"the worst of the worst."
68
196295
2837
"najgori od najgorih."
03:19
And because of my activity,
69
199132
2325
Zbog moje aktivnosti,
03:21
I landed in solitary confinement
70
201457
2692
bačen sam u samicu
03:24
for seven and a half years
71
204149
2429
na sedam i po godina
03:26
out of my incarceration.
72
206578
3212
od svog zatočeništva.
03:29
Now as I see it, solitary confinement
73
209790
1669
Kada pomislim na to, samica je
03:31
is one of the most inhumane and barbaric places
74
211459
1940
jedno od najnehumanijih i varvarskih mesta
03:33
you can find yourself,
75
213399
2899
u kojima se možete naći,
03:36
but find myself I did.
76
216298
2891
ali ja sam se tamo našao.
03:39
One day, I was pacing my cell,
77
219189
3511
Jednog dana, dok sam bio u ćeliji
03:42
when an officer came and delivered mail.
78
222700
4517
stražar je došao i doneo mi poštu.
03:47
I looked at a couple of letters
79
227217
1737
Pogledao sam nekoliko pisama
03:48
before I looked at the letter
80
228954
1914
pre nego što sam pogledao pismo
03:50
that had my son's squiggly handwriting on it.
81
230868
3062
koje je imalo izobličen rukopis mog sina na sebi.
03:53
And anytime I would get a letter from my son,
82
233930
1437
I kad god bih dobio pismo od sina,
03:55
it was like a ray of light
83
235367
1905
bilo je kao zrak svetla
03:57
in the darkest place you can imagine.
84
237272
2757
u najmračnijem mestu u kom se možete zamisliti.
04:00
And on this particular day, I opened this letter,
85
240029
3815
Tog naročitog dana, otvorio sam pismo,
04:03
and in capital letters, he wrote,
86
243844
3106
i velikim slovima je napisao:
04:06
"My mama told me why you was in prison:
87
246950
3255
"Mama mi je rekla zašto si u zatvoru:
04:10
murder."
88
250205
2694
ubistvo."
04:12
He said, "Dad, don't kill.
89
252899
1919
Rekao je: "Tata, ne ubijaj.
04:14
Jesus watches what you do. Pray to Him."
90
254818
5447
Isus posmatra šta radiš. Moli Mu se."
04:20
Now, I wasn't religious at that time,
91
260265
1835
Nisam bio religiozan u to vreme,
04:22
nor am I religious now,
92
262100
1707
niti sam sad,
04:23
but it was something so profound
93
263807
2484
ali bilo je nešto toliko duboko
04:26
about my son's words.
94
266291
2762
u rečima mog sina.
Učinilo je da ispitam stvari u svom životu
04:29
They made me examine things about my life
95
269063
1622
04:30
that I hadn't considered.
96
270685
1936
koje nisam uzeo u obzir.
04:32
It was the first time in my life
97
272621
1936
To je bio prvi put u mom životu
04:34
that I had actually thought about the fact
98
274557
1972
da sam zapravo pomislio na činjenicu
04:36
that my son would see me as a murderer.
99
276529
3666
da me sin vidi kao ubicu.
04:40
I sat back on my bunk
100
280195
2054
Seo sam nazad na svoj ležaj
04:42
and I reflected on something I had read
101
282249
2019
i razmislio o nečemu što sam pročitao
04:44
in [Plato],
102
284268
2597
kod Platona
04:46
where Socrates stated in "Apology"
103
286865
1975
gde je Sokrat rekao u "Odbrani Sokratovoj"
04:48
that the unexamined life isn't worth living.
104
288840
4271
da neistraženi život nije vredan življenja.
04:53
At that point is when the transformation began.
105
293111
5832
U tom momentu preobražaj je počeo.
04:58
But it didn't come easy.
106
298943
2920
Ali nije došao lako.
05:03
One of the things I realized,
107
303920
1844
Jedna stvar koju sam shvatio,
05:05
which was part of the transformation,
108
305764
2157
koja je bila deo preobražaja,
05:07
was that there were four key things.
109
307921
3742
je da su postojale četiri ključne stvari.
05:11
The first thing was,
110
311663
2307
Prva stvar je da
05:13
I had great mentors.
111
313970
2313
sam imao sjajne mentore.
05:16
Now, I know some of you all are probably thinking,
112
316283
1876
Znam da neki od vas verovatno misle,
05:18
how did you find a great mentor in prison?
113
318159
3169
kako sam našao dobre mentore u zatvoru?
05:21
But in my case,
114
321328
2865
Ali u mom slučaju,
05:24
some of my mentors
115
324193
1230
neki od mojih mentora
05:25
who are serving life sentences
116
325423
1877
koji su služili doživotne kazne su bili
05:27
were some of the best people to ever come into my life,
117
327300
2709
jedni od najboljih ljudi koji su ikada ušli u moj život,
05:30
because they forced me to look at my life honestly,
118
330009
3264
jer su me primorali da se iskreno zagledam u svoj život,
05:33
and they forced me to challenge myself
119
333273
1825
i primorali su me da dam sebi izazov
05:35
about my decision making.
120
335098
2515
o donošenju svojih odluka.
05:37
The second thing was literature.
121
337613
4254
Druga stvar je bila književnost.
05:41
Prior to going to prison,
122
341867
1743
Pre nego što sam otišao u zatvor,
05:43
I didn't know that there were so many brilliant
123
343610
1997
nisam znao da postoji toliko briljantnih
05:45
black poets, authors and philosophers,
124
345607
3281
crnih pesnika, autora i filozofa,
05:48
and then I had the great fortune
125
348888
3019
a imao sam veliku sreću
05:51
of encountering Malcolm X's autobiography,
126
351907
4167
da se upoznam sa autobiografijom Malkoma Iksa,
05:56
and it shattered every stereotype I had about myself.
127
356074
4547
i razbila je svaki stereotip koji sam imao o sebi.
06:00
The third thing was family.
128
360621
2441
Treća stvar bila je porodica.
06:03
For 19 years, my father stood by my side
129
363062
4676
19 godina, moj otac je stajao na mojoj strani
06:07
with an unshakable faith,
130
367738
2429
sa nepotresnom verom
jer je verovao da imam ono što treba
06:10
because he believed that I had what it took
131
370167
1664
06:11
to turn my life around.
132
371831
2294
da se moj život izokrene.
06:14
I also met an amazing woman
133
374125
2893
Takođe sam upoznao izvanrednu ženu
06:17
who is now the mother of my two-year-old son Sekou,
134
377018
3434
koja je sada majka mog dvogodišnjeg sina Sekua
06:20
and she taught me how to love myself
135
380452
2228
i naučila me je kako da volim sebe
06:22
in a healthy way.
136
382680
4278
na zdrav način.
06:26
The final thing was writing.
137
386958
2696
Poslednja stvar bila je pisanje.
06:29
When I got that letter from my son,
138
389654
1414
Kada sam dobio pismo od sina,
06:31
I began to write a journal
139
391068
2210
počeo sa da pišem dnevnik
06:33
about things I had experienced in my childhood
140
393278
2801
o stvarima koje sam iskusio u detinjstvu
06:36
and in prison,
141
396079
2793
i u zatvoru
06:38
and what it did is it opened up my mind to the idea
142
398872
3266
i to je otvorilo moj um
06:42
of atonement.
143
402138
2968
za ideju o ispaštanju.
06:45
Earlier in my incarceration, I had received
144
405106
2082
Ranije tokom mog zatočeništva primio sam
06:47
a letter from one of the relatives of my victim,
145
407188
3807
pismo od jedne od rođaka moje žrtve
06:50
and in that letter,
146
410995
2845
i u tom pismu
06:53
she told me she forgave me,
147
413840
1845
rekla mi je da mi oprašta
06:55
because she realized I was a young child
148
415685
1949
jer je shvatila da sam mlad momak
06:57
who had been abused
149
417634
1337
koji je bio zloupotrebljen
06:58
and had been through some hardships
150
418971
1792
i koji je prošao kroz nevolje
07:00
and just made a series of poor decisions.
151
420763
2738
i napravio niz loših odluka.
07:03
It was the first time in my life
152
423501
2471
To je bio prvi put u mom životu
07:05
that I ever felt open to forgiving myself.
153
425972
7729
da sam se ikada osetio otvoreno da oprostim sebi.
07:13
One of the things that happened
154
433701
1244
Jedna od stvari
07:14
after that experience is that
155
434945
2323
koje su se desile nakon iskustva su
07:17
I thought about the other men who were incarcerated
156
437268
1888
da sam mislio o drugim muškarcima
07:19
alongside of me,
157
439156
1812
koji su zatočeni zajedno sa mnom
07:20
and how much I wanted to share this with them.
158
440968
2922
i koliko sam želeo da to podelim sa njima.
07:23
And so I started talking to them about
159
443890
1754
Stoga sam počeo da razgovaram sa njima
07:25
some of their experiences,
160
445644
1927
o nekim od njihovih iskustava
07:27
and I was devastated to realize
161
447571
1482
i bio sam ophrvan kada sam shvatio
07:29
that most of them came from the same abusive environments,
162
449053
3378
da je većina njih došla iz istih nasilnih okruženja
07:32
And most of them wanted help and they wanted to turn it around,
163
452431
3539
i većina njih je želela pomoć i želeli su da preokrenu to
07:35
but unfortunately the system
164
455970
1740
ali nažalost sistem
07:37
that currently holds 2.5 million people in prison
165
457710
3218
koji trenutno drži 2,5 miliona ljudi u zatvoru
07:40
is designed to warehouse
166
460928
2200
je stvoren da čuva
07:43
as opposed to rehabilitate or transform.
167
463128
4292
umesto da rehabilituje i transformiše.
07:47
So I made it up in my mind
168
467420
1891
Stoga sam odlučio u svojoj glavi
07:49
that if I was ever released from prison
169
469311
1754
da ako ikada budem pušten iz zatvora
07:51
that I would do everything in my power
170
471065
2457
da ću uraditi sve što je u mojoj moći
07:53
to help change that.
171
473522
3701
da pomognem da se to promeni.
07:57
In 2010, I walked out of prison
172
477223
2766
2010. godine izašao sam iz zatvora,
07:59
for the first time after two decades.
173
479989
3078
po prvi put nakon dve decenije.
08:03
Now imagine, if you will,
174
483067
1588
Zamislite sad, ako ćete,
08:04
Fred Flintstone walking into an episode
175
484655
2582
Freda Kremenka kako ulazi u epizodu
08:07
of "The Jetsons."
176
487237
2383
"Džetsonovih".
08:09
That was pretty much what my life was like.
177
489620
2935
Tako nekako je moj život izgledao.
08:12
For the first time, I was exposed to the Internet,
178
492555
3315
Po prvi put sam se izložio internetu,
08:15
social media,
179
495870
1736
društvenim mrežama,
08:17
cars that talk like KITT from "Knight Rider."
180
497606
4137
kolima koji govore poput KITT-a iz serije "Najt Rajder".
08:21
But the thing that fascinated me the most
181
501743
1784
Ali stvar koja me je najviše fascinirala
08:23
was phone technology.
182
503527
1783
bila je mobilna tehnologija.
08:25
See, when I went to prison,
183
505310
1272
Kada sam otišao u zatvor
08:26
our car phones were this big
184
506582
1775
naši telefoni su bili ovoliko veliki
08:28
and required two people to carry them.
185
508357
2601
i trebalo je dvoje ljudi da ih nosi.
08:30
So imagine what it was like when I first grabbed
186
510958
2088
Zamislite kako je bilo kada sam prvi put uzeo
08:33
my little Blackberry
187
513046
2126
moj mali Blekberi
08:35
and I started learning how to text.
188
515172
1951
i počeo da učim kako da šaljem poruke.
08:37
But the thing is, the people around me,
189
517123
1667
Interesantna stvar je da ljudi oko mene
08:38
they didn't realize that I had no idea
190
518790
1596
nisu shvatali da nemam pojma
08:40
what all these abbreviated texts meant,
191
520386
2694
šta sve te skraćenice u porukama znače,
08:43
like LOL, OMG, LMAO,
192
523080
5030
poput LOL, OMG, LMAO,
08:48
until one day I was having a conversation
193
528110
1742
dok jednog dana nisam vodio prepisku
08:49
with one of my friends via text,
194
529852
2256
sa jednim od svojih prijatelja preko poruke
08:52
and I asked him to do something, and he responded back, "K."
195
532108
4031
i pitao ga da uradi nešto a on mi je odgovorio sa "K".
08:56
And I was like, "What is K?"
196
536139
3179
Pitao sam "Šta je K?",
08:59
And he was like, "K is okay."
197
539318
1962
a on je odgovorio: "K je okej."
09:01
So in my head, I was like,
198
541280
999
Pitao sam se
09:02
"Well what the hell is wrong with K?"
199
542279
3018
"Šta je pobogu sa K?"
09:05
And so I text him a question mark.
200
545297
2513
Odgovorio sam mu sa upitnikom.
09:07
And he said, "K = okay."
201
547810
3671
Rekao je: "K = okej."
09:11
And so I tap back, "FU." (Laughter)
202
551481
4689
Otkucao sam mu: "FU." (Smeh)
09:16
And then he texts back, and he asks me
203
556170
1756
A onda je odgovorio i pitao me je
09:17
why was I cussing him out.
204
557926
1674
zašto ga psujem.
09:19
And I said, "LOL FU,"
205
559600
2660
rekao sam "LOL FU",
09:22
as in, I finally understand.
206
562260
1699
kada sam konačno shvatio.
09:23
(Laughter)
207
563959
2037
(Smeh)
09:25
And so fast forward three years,
208
565996
3265
Danas, tri godine kasnije
09:29
I'm doing relatively good.
209
569261
1874
prilično se dobro držim.
09:31
I have a fellowship at MIT Media Lab,
210
571135
2678
Vodim udruženje sa Medijskom laboratorijom MIT-ja.
09:33
I work for an amazing company called BMe,
211
573813
3217
radim za fantastičnu kompaniju po imenu BMe,
09:37
I teach at the University of Michigan,
212
577030
2330
predajem na Univerzitetu u Mičigenu,
09:39
but it's been a struggle
213
579360
1977
ali je tu velika borba
09:41
because I realize that there are more
214
581337
1463
jer shvatam da postoji mnogo
09:42
men and women coming home
215
582800
1635
muškaraca i žena koji se vraćaju kuči
09:44
who are not going to be afforded those opportunities.
216
584435
3161
a koji neće moći sebi da priušte te prilike.
09:47
I've been blessed to work with some amazing
217
587596
1805
Bio sam blagosloven da radim
09:49
men and women,
218
589401
2684
sa nekim neverovatnim muškaracima i ženama,
09:52
helping others reenter society,
219
592085
1762
pomažući drugima da ponovo uđu u društvo,
09:53
and one of them is my friend named Calvin Evans.
220
593847
4213
i jedan od njih je moj prijatelj po imenu Kalvin Evans.
09:58
He served 24 years for a crime he didn't commit.
221
598060
2955
Odslužio je 24 godine za zločin koji nije počinio.
10:01
He's 45 years old. He's currently enrolled in college.
222
601015
3768
Ima 45 godina. Trenutno je polaznik koledža.
10:04
And one of the things that we talked about
223
604783
1724
Jedna od stvari o kojima smo govorili
10:06
is the three things that I found important
224
606507
1712
su tri stvari koje smatram važnim
10:08
in my personal transformation,
225
608219
1620
u svom ličnom preobražaju,
10:09
the first being acknowledgment.
226
609839
1939
a prva stvar je priznanje.
10:11
I had to acknowledge that I had hurt others.
227
611778
2426
Morao sam da priznam da sam povredio druge.
10:14
I also had to acknowledge that I had been hurt.
228
614204
2796
Morao sam da priznam i da sam bio povređen.
10:17
The second thing was apologizing.
229
617000
2421
Druga stvar je izvinjenje.
10:19
I had to apologize to the people I had hurt.
230
619421
2150
Morao sam da se izvinim ljudima koje sam povredio.
10:21
Even though I had no expectations of them accepting it,
231
621571
2072
Iako nisam očekivao da će oni to prihvatiti,
10:23
it was important to do because it was the right thing.
232
623643
2752
bilo je važno to uraditi jer je to bilo ispravno.
10:26
But I also had to apologize to myself.
233
626395
2959
Morao sam da se izvinim i sebi.
10:29
The third thing was atoning.
234
629354
2817
Treća stvar je pokajanje.
10:32
For me, atoning meant
235
632171
1683
Za mene, pokajanje je značilo
10:33
going back into my community
236
633854
1593
vraćanje u zajednicu
10:35
and working with at-risk youth
237
635447
1543
i rad sa rizičnom omladinom
10:36
who were on the same path,
238
636990
1800
koji su bili na istom putu,
10:38
but also becoming at one with myself.
239
638790
3740
ali i pomirenje sa sobom.
10:42
Through my experience of being locked up,
240
642530
1764
Kroz svoje iskustvo u zatočeništvu,
10:44
one of the things I discovered is this:
241
644294
2181
jedna od stvari koje sam otkrio je ovo:
10:46
the majority of men and women
242
646475
1216
većina muškaraca i žena
10:47
who are incarcerated are redeemable,
243
647691
3421
koji su zatočeni mogu da se iskupe
10:51
and the fact is,
244
651112
1260
i činjenica je da će se
10:52
90 percent of the men and women who are incarcerated
245
652372
2351
90 posto muškaraca i žena koji su zatočeni
10:54
will at some point return to the community,
246
654723
2688
u jednom trenutku vratiti u zajednicu
10:57
and we have a role in determining what kind
247
657411
1915
i imaćemo ulogu u određivanju koja vrsta
10:59
of men and women return to our community.
248
659326
3619
muškaraca i žena se vraća u našu zajednicu.
11:02
My wish today
249
662945
2611
Moja želja danas je
11:05
is that we will embrace
250
665556
3653
da ćemo prihvatiti
11:09
a more empathetic approach
251
669209
2149
empatičniji pristup
11:11
toward how we deal with mass incarceration,
252
671358
3220
prema tome kako rešavamo grupno zatočeništvo,
11:14
that we will do away with
253
674578
1144
da ćemo se rešiti
11:15
the lock-them-up-and-throw-away-the-key mentality,
254
675722
2315
mentaliteta po principu zaključaj ih i baci ključ,
11:18
because it's proven it doesn't work.
255
678037
3923
jer je dokazano da to ne funkcioniše.
11:21
My journey is a unique journey,
256
681960
2453
Moje putovanje je jedinstveno,
11:24
but it doesn't have to be that way.
257
684413
2665
ali ne mora da bude tako.
11:27
Anybody can have a transformation
258
687078
2406
Svako može da se preobrazi
11:29
if we create the space for that to happen.
259
689484
2840
ako stvorimo prostor da se to desi.
11:32
So what I'm asking today
260
692324
1762
Ono što vas pitam danas
11:34
is that you envision
261
694086
1707
je da zamislite
11:35
a world where men and women
262
695793
2340
svet gde muškarci i žene
11:38
aren't held hostage to their pasts,
263
698133
3696
nisu taoci svoje prošlosti,
11:41
where misdeeds and mistakes
264
701829
1433
gde vas prestupi i greške
11:43
don't define you for the rest of your life.
265
703262
2768
ne određuju do kraja vašeg života.
11:46
I think collectively, we can create that reality,
266
706030
3191
Ja mislim da kolektivno možemo da stvorimo tu stvarnost
i nadam se da vi isto tako smatrate.
11:49
and I hope you do too.
267
709221
1703
11:50
Thank you.
268
710924
1766
Hvala vam.
11:52
