This is a great day for the Mahoning Valley and for the City of Youngstown. Both the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. LaTourette) and the gentleman from Oregon (Mr. Blumenauer) have given many of the credits; and I will not go into those credits except to say this, one of the legacies of Judge Battisti is he is being credited with one of the first desegregations of a major city in the United States of America, that being Cleveland, Ohio. And the other significant aspect of this, as brought out by Judge Jones, his work with the NAACP and his work through several landmark cases with the Supreme Court to strike down segregation.
