On the recordJune 13, 1996
I commend our friend from North Carolina and our friend from Oklahoma for bringing this resolution to the floor. Mr. Speaker, about a month ago I had the opportunity to visit that church on 16th in Birmingham, AL, where several young women lost their lives. It is a beautiful place, and my colleagues would not know the horror unless they open a closet or look in the basement and see the cracked foundations. We are here tonight, the good people of Alabama and all across this country to say no, no, we will not go back to those days and we will not put up with anybody burning our churches.
