Stacey Abrams had it from the beginning:

.@staceyabrams gives Dem response #SOTUResponse to #SOTU tonight. Her first time on C-SPAN? Over a quarter century ago. August 28, 1993. Addressing 30th anniversary March on Washington. She was a junior at @SpelmanCollege ... Introduced by Lane Kirkland, then president @AFLCIO pic.twitter.com/xCgpLzSPr6
