"This is what democracy looks like! Before the elections and the voting, the political offices and speeches, the policies and platforms, it’s the people. Michael James captures the heart of our democracy beating on the hardwood, slapping against the backboard, playing, laughing, and singing in El Paso’s Segundo Barrio.

"If you’re looking for faith in our future, optimism for our country, and hope for our democracy, look at the kids, the coaches, the poets, and the players that James found at Basketball in the Barrio."

–Beto O'Rourke
