On the recordFebruary 2, 2015
In closing remarks, let me thank you for extending our time tonight. We have heard from voices of legends tonight. But tonight I would like to end by giving special recognition to two new voices, two new legends who tonight led us through something more than a Special Order hour. They led us through a Special Order hour in history. To Congressman Donald Payne of New Jersey, thank you for picking this topic and partnering with my colleague and friend, Congresswoman Robin Kelly. Mr. Speaker, tonight they are our voices of the future. Tonight they had the courage to come and manage time on an issue that we think, as members not only of the Congressional Black Caucus, but of this Congress, being the conscience of this Congress. {time} 2045 Hopefully, it will make a difference in this Chamber as we proceed forward. Thank you again, Congressman Payne and Congresswoman Kelly. You are our voices. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
