On the recordMarch 14, 2016
It is 2016. I am writing an article that sounds like I was sitting in 1955. That gives me great concern. So when I think about our topic tonight, our work continues. What matters in the African American community I think we have answered tonight. Whether it was from Congressman John Larson, who is not a member of the Congressional Black Caucus, whether it is from Congressman Sam Johnson or Congressman John Lewis, Mr. Speaker, I say to you that we stand here as members of the Congressional Black Caucus because we are the conscience of the Congress. Mr. Chairman, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman has 13 minutes remaining.
