Delegate Stacey Plaskett’s parents came to New York from St. Croix. She now represents the Virgin Islands in the House of Representatives. Neguse’s parents arrived in the United States as refugees from East Africa shortly before he was born then moved to Colorado when he was six. He briefly referenced his immigrant experience in his opening remarks and then returned to the topic on the closing day of the Democrats’ arguments, speaking emotionally of what this country had given him and his family and how over the years he had become a devoted, passionate student of American history.
Plaskett said her experience as the child of immigrants had given her the strength to confront those who misuse power. “I’ve learned throughout my life that preparation and truth can carry you far, can allow you to speak truth to power,” she said. “I’ve learned that as a young Black girl growing up in the projects in Brooklyn, a housing community on St. Croix, sent to the most unlikeliest of settings, and now as an adult woman representing an island territory speaking to the U.S. Senate.”
