Barbara Lee: “I thank Congresswoman Lee Carter for her leadership and her…”

On the recordDecember 17, 2024

I thank Congresswoman Lee Carter for her leadership and her friendship. I was her mother's personal photographer, and we did travel the world. What Sheila wanted, Sheila got because she was a true warrior woman, as is Mrs. Lee Carter. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my colleague and very good friend from Wisconsin (Ms. Moore). I visited her district several times as she actually was in a film, a documentary. I thank her for that, the name of it was: ``Barbara Lee: Speaking Truth to Power,'' but she was the star of that documentary. {time} 2000
