00:00There's a firestorm this evening at Gallaudet University
00:07The world's only deaf university
00:12The time was now to light a match
00:17The school's board of trustees bypassed two deaf candidates for the school's presidency
00:23In favor of a woman who can hear
00:26We wanted to scream out
00:30But how do you scream out in our language?
00:36We knew we would have to have a plan
00:38Together we're united
00:41We pull all the fire alarms
00:45And everyone would know to go outside
00:48The lights started flickering and I could feel the vibration
00:54We locked all the gates
00:56And students blocked any entrance to the campus
00:59My grandfather called me and he said
01:01Oh lord
01:04According to decent people, you won't be on the ground
01:09We give up our soul in order to get a deaf president
01:15It wasn't just about getting a deaf president
01:20It was more than that
01:21We couldn't accept a leader who didn't understand our world
01:28She said deaf people are not ready to function in a hearing world
01:33You heard it right
01:35I did not say that
01:36This is not just a protest
01:40It's a revolution
01:41You hear all the time
01:52You can't, you can't
01:53No, not this time
01:59Death can
02:01¡Gracias!
