“I want to say respectfully to my very good friend from Georgia, as well as my very good friend from Oklahoma, that civil rights is not a franchise of any one race. True, some in a race may have felt it stronger than others, but having been a white child to integrate a black high school in Athens, Georgia, and my friend from Georgia may well remember Bernie Harris, I was in the civil rights issues, knew them very personally, very many issues, which we have discussed in the past. I would say that the gentleman from Oklahoma is right. How do we turn around to people and say they have free speech but not in the last 60 days? ... If I go down to Toombs Central High School, in Toombs County, Georgia, and I say to a very strong, growing Hispanic group of people, listen, we are going to clean it up, but there is going to be about $40 million in the bill that can go to the Democrats to build a new building.”
