Thank you, Representative Lee, for explaining so well the link between poverty and race, and that they both contribute to the cause of segregation that we continue to see even today. There are those who want to suggest that race has nothing to do with it, but yet it is the de facto policies which contribute greatly to why we see the resegregation, if you will. Despite the advances in some communities, there are places still in America where the dream of Brown has not been truly realized and where communities which were advancing are now taking steps back. I commend you for raising those points.
