The New Jersey Governor quoted Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr. He stated that empowerment of the marginalised and diversity should be the goal that must be achieved.

The Governor stated that to be a stronger society, it is important to include all people i.e. from all races, genders, diversity, religions as well as from the LGBTQ community. Mentioning the legacy of Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., he mentioned that exclusion of any people will make the society weak. He pressed on living diversity rather than just talking about diversity.
