On the recordFebruary 22, 2010
I choose a golf course because I am in such great admiration of this golf course, which has served the people of the District of Columbia for now over 70 years and which was started even before I was born, when young women, apparently not the male golfers who predominated then and predominate now, insisted that there had to be somewhere for African Americans to play golf. What Members may not recognize is that the District of Columbia was a legally segregated city. It was segregated by the Congress of the United States. Brown v. Board of Education was brought by five jurisdictions. One of them was the District of Columbia. It was one of the Brown cases. Every part of this city was segregated except the buses.
