Congressman Hakeem Jeffries’ ABCs of Democracy speech on American values is brought to life in this vividly illustrated book for all ages. 

American values over autocracy. Benevolence over bigotry.

So begins the rousing finale of the first floor speech delivered by Congressman Hakeem Jeffries upon his historic elevation as House Democratic Leader, affirming the values of our great country one letter of the alphabet at a time. Equal parts inspiring and urgent, his words provide a timeless reminder of what will keep the United States the greatest democracy in the history of the world. In clever and memorable turns of phrase, Jeffries paints an alphabetic road map for a brighter American future and warns of the perils of taking a different path. Now, with vibrant illustrations for each letter, The ABCs of Democracy brings this blueprint for the future to vivid, colorful life.
