I will just close by saying that if we want the next generation of students to live the American Dream and achieve the success that they are capable of, then we must challenge the growing trend of inequality in our schools throughout America. That was the eventual dream that emerged from the Brown decision. And so far, we have fallen short of a fair and equal school system that gives each student their best chance to succeed. I thank the Chair for recognizing this Special Order hour on this, the 60th anniversary of the Brown decision, and I yield back the balance of my time.
