Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all of those who have spoken, because through their eloquence, they have permitted us the opportunity to relive the life and legacy of Earl Shinhoster and also to pay tribute and recognize the tremendous work of the NAACP. As a matter of fact, I was in Decatur, Illinois, Saturday with the Illinois chapters and there are so many similarities and so many things are relevant. So I simply thank all of them. I commend the life and the work of Earl Shinhoster.
