I hope everybody is getting ready for a great celebration tomorrow.

We tried our best to start you off in the right gear with great gospel singing this whole entire hour.

We've given you a variety of gospel music and gospel singers, as we always do with people from across the state of Alabama, as well as outside of the state of Alabama.

Like this awesome group here, The Appointed Angels from Newton, Mississippi.

And I tell you what, you made Mississippi proud.

- Oh, everybody today alright.

Well, listen, we thank you for coming and we thank each of you and we wish you a blessed resurrection Sunday.

We always close by saying this, if y'all can get your mics up, you can see it with me.

And that is, We are all sisters and brothers.

Can you say that?

- [All] We're all sisters and brothers.

- There's only one color.

- [All] There's only one color.

- And that's the color of love.

- [All] And that's the color of love.

- All right.

You believe that?

- Yes, sir.
