On the recordMarch 28, 2012
This afternoon, I rise to thank those Members and witnesses who joined together yesterday to discuss the tragic shooting of Trayvon Martin: Representatives Conyers, Jackson Lee, Brown, Barbara Lee, Richmond, Nadler, Johnson, Green, Quigley, Rush, Deutch, Yvette Clarke, Danny Davis, Carson, Meeks, Sewell, Richardson, Waters, Chu, and Cohen. I cannot tell you how comforting it was, Mr. Speaker, to his parents and to everyone there to see such sharp, very strong support from this body. Together, we can continue to apply pressure in this case of Trayvon Martin, a little boy from my district, District 17, Miami-Dade County, Florida; and together we can make a difference. Thirty-two days and still no justice. ____________________
