In his acceptance speech, Arden said: " Parade tells The Story of A Life that was Cut Short at The Hands of the belief that one group of people is more or less valuable than another and that they might be more deserving of justice.
" This is a belief that is The Core of antisemitism, of White Supremacy , of homophobia, of transphobia and intolerance of any kind. We must come together. We must battle this. It is so, so important, or else We Are doomed to repeat The Horrors of our history. "
