Back in April, Senator Cory Booker made headlines when he delivered an epic 25-hour-long speech on the Senate floor. His passionate address was focused on the policies of the Trump administration and their impact on the American people.
Now, Booker is taking his historic moment to the next level by expanding on it in a new book, titled "Stand". As a New York Times bestselling author, he hopes to shed light on the virtues that are crucial for our nation's success, drawing inspiration from the generations of Americans who have fought for them.
In a statement reported by The Associated Press, Booker, who is 56 years old, said, "This book is about the virtues vital to our success as a nation and lessons we can draw from generations of Americans who fought for them." His powerful speech from last month, which was widely circulated on social media, touched on a range of important issues, including anti-diversity, immigration, healthcare, and Social Security cuts.
During his 25-hour-long speech, Booker boldly declared, "the power of the people is greater than the people in power," reflecting his belief that the economy should benefit American workers and not just the privileged few. This sentiment is also echoed on his website, where he emphasizes the need for policies that benefit everyone.
"Stand", which is set to be released on November 11th by St. Martin's Press, will expand on the messages and calls to action that Booker addressed in his historic speech. According to People, the idea for the book came about when Tim Bartlett, executive editor at The St. Martin's Publishing Group, approached Booker to discuss how his message could be further amplified in a compelling book.
The official synopsis for "Stand" describes it as a book that "explores how our choices today shape the future and offers a passionate call to conscience and a guide for courageous engagement." It emphasizes the importance of not just fighting against something, but also standing for something greater.
During his 25-hour-long speech, Booker delivered 1,164 pages of prepared material and shared stories from over 200 New Jerseyans and Americans. The historic moment was a huge success, with over 350 million likes on Booker's TikTok livestream and 28,000 encouraging voicemails. To put it into perspective, his speech even surpassed Strom Thurmond's 24-hour and 18-minute speech against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
Senator Cory Booker's record-breaking 25-hour-long speech will certainly go down in history as a powerful moment of advocacy and inspiration. His upcoming book, "Stand", will further solidify the impact of his words and calls to action, reminding us all of the importance of standing up for what we believe in.
