Written by Black Hot Fire Network on September 28, 2023
SECRETARY BLINKEN: Thank you. I’m really at a loss for words because I can tell you, that song never sounded like that before. (Laughter.) And never will again. Dave, thank you for really the highlight of a lifetime.
And everyone here, good evening. Welcome to the State Department. First let me say how grateful I am to my friend and colleague of so many years, Lee Satterfield, our assistant secretary of state. (Applause.) Lee and the Bureau of Education and Cultural Affairs were the masterminds of this evening, and every single day are out there working . . .
