I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I am thankful for the time today to speak on this important legislation, and I thank Congresswoman Barragan for being a champion of this issue. The coronavirus has wreaked havoc on our communities. Now, more than ever, we must support minority academic institutions and the critical research they conduct. Minority academic institutions can play a big role in conducting critical research and helping us work to lessen the health disparities minority communities face. We must ensure schools, including the Morehouse College in my home State of Georgia, are able to conduct their research without disruption. Their efforts will better prepare all of us to respond to the coronavirus and other health inequities more effectively. I urge passage today.
