Gabrielle Giffords ’93 delivered a powerful speech on resilience and strength at the Democratic National Convention, CNN . “Words once came easily; today I聽struggle to speak. But I have not lost my voice.聽America needs all of us to speak聽out, even when you have to fight聽to find the words,” she said. “Confronted by paralysis and聽aphasia I’ve responded with grit聽and determination.聽I put one foot in front of the聽other.聽I’ve found one word and then I found聽another. My recovery is a daily fight聽but fighting makes me stronger.” The speech was the longest that Giffords, a former Arizona congresswoman, has given since she was wounded in a 2011 mass shooting.
