Tens of thousands of Republicans, including more than 2,400 delegates, have descended on Milwaukee for the GOP convention.
Rep. John James, a Black congressman and veteran from Michigan, began his remarks by telling the story of his parents. His father grew up in Jim Crow-era America, he said, hauling beer in a truck between Detroit and Milwaukee. 'He and my mother raised me never telling me this is a racist country,' James said. 'Never. Never.''Even though they endured racism, it did not define the nation that they loved,' he added.
He made a reference to his service and Trump's near miss on Saturday. 'That's something else me and President Trump have in common: The bad guys shot at us both, but they missed,' James said. 'And we'll keep on fighting for America until the good lord takes us home.
