I thank the gentleman from New York. Thank you for your wisdom and your sage advice and for challenging us, even today, to remember what the Brown decision is all about, and that is for people to truly be treated equally, not on the basis of race. We know, based on where we are today in America--though there are some who want to say we live in a postracial society--when you look at the outcomes of young people based on where they are from, clearly, we have not lived up to the full promise of what Brown has intended. So thank you for your advice and for participating in this Special Order hour. I would like to turn now to the chairman of the Progressive Caucus here in the House. He is a great man with great vision, Representative Keith Ellison from Minnesota.
