As I wrap up now in our tribute to John Conyers, the dean, he was many things: He was a UAW labor member; he was a military veteran; he was a fighter for voters' rights, for healthcare, for reparations, for racial justice. He was a lover and promoter of jazz. But most of all, I stand here today, as a Member of Congress representing Michigan's 14th District. He was Detroit. He was Motown. He was a person whose thumbprint will remain throughout history as a political voice, a leader, and a beloved man in the history of our city and of metro Detroit. I want to say to the family, we send all the love and respect; and to say, in closing, John Conyers, rest in power. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
