Makaya McCraven - In These Times(2022)

[00:47.38] "I'd never wanna be known as anybody opposed to progress"
[00:52.38] He says, "But this is no longer a matter of progress, or not progress
[01:00.48] My brothers, my friends, my cousins have died tryna build this tunnel
[01:08.00] And, it just kinda seems to me that nobody has the right to take away our responsibility to finish what these people have died for
[01:17.44] Our dignity is involved in it, our integrity
[01:19.88] And everything that we believe as working men are involved
[01:22.57] So that I ain't really opposed to the machine
[01:25.07] I just feel that the machine can't take the place of the soul and the sweat
[01:29.01] Of the many men who died to help build this tunnel
[01:32.25] And, er, we gotta finish it, and it just ain't no two ways about it"

[06:26.31] "... our responsibility to finish what these people have died for
[06:30.56] Our dignity is involved in it, our integrity..."
