Political Quotes

“I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 6282, introduced by the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano). The bill designates a post office in the Bronx, New York, as the Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr. Post Office Building. As a member of the Tuskegee Airmen in World War II, Dr. Brown was the first African American fighter pilot to shoot down a German fighter jet. After serving in World War II, Dr. Brown earned his Ph.D. at New York University, where he later taught, and served as the president of Bronx Community College. His service to the Nation is admirable, and I look forward to learning more about his extraordinary life from my colleague, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Serrano). I urge Members to support the bill. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
