Political Quotes

On the recordFebruary 17, 2011
Mr. President, I rise today to honor Bria Benjamin, a fifth-grader at Forbuss Elementary School in Las Vegas. Recently, Bria studied hard and recited Martin Luther King's ``I Have a Dream'' speech in celebration of Dr. King's 82nd birthday at a meeting of the Clark County Board of Commissioners. Bria perfectly conveyed the speech and even captured the powerful, emotional and cadenced performance of Dr. King. I am proud of Bria and commend her stunning rendition of a speech that embodies such a significant time in our country's history. As we celebrate Black History month, we recognize the immense contributions African Americans have made to this country--from innovations in science and technology to accomplishments in the arts and culture to improvements in all of our communities. ____________________
