“I thank Congressman Lewis. Some other facts that people may not know about John Conyers: He worked for the Lincoln auto factory and was a member of the UAW. He became the director of education for UAW Local 900. He was the first African American to chair the House Committee on the Judiciary. He also sponsored the Racial Justice Act and the Police Accountability Act during that time. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Danny K. Davis), a Member of Congress who has fought many fights and has stood up and knows the story of justice in our country.”
