So it's clear we need to work together to find the best policies to support student borrowers.

I drafted a bill to address that, so you should--we'll enlist your help in finishing that product.

We must preserve and protect HBCUs for the sake of the next generation of change-makers and for those yet unborn.

Investing in these institutions and their students is one of the most significant actions we can take to right the wrongs of the past.
