I thank Congresswoman Lee. When people ask us why are we doing this today, I thank the gentlewoman for reminding us that the system is stacked against us and that we have had the future of so many of our young folks ripped away from them. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from the great State of Ohio (Ms. Fudge). She is from the 11th Congressional District. She is an attorney. She has served as a former mayor. She is the immediate past chair of the Congressional Black Caucus. She is someone who gives us advice. I remember her saying to us: Push the envelope because you are the voice for the voiceless. Look at the legislative issues that will make a difference in the lives of others. So tonight we come to talk about equal justice under the law. Mr. Speaker, we come to challenge this House. It is my great honor to yield to Congresswoman Marcia Fudge.
