On the recordFebruary 5, 2018
I want to follow up on something that the gentleman said that sort of registers. He says this April it will be 50 years since Dr. King's assassination. I am interested in the gentleman's perspective as he looks at that 50 years. And the gentleman and I both have this honor of sitting in this great House and what it means. But that economic justice aspect, as the gentleman looks back and thinks about--and I am glad he brought up the issue about fighting for the sanitation workers and what Dr. King was doing. So if the gentleman is looking back and looking where we are today, speak to a little bit of where he thinks we are, because just last Tuesday we sat in this House and we heard the President give the State of the Union. The gentleman heard what the President said in his State of the Union, and we know about Dr. King, that issue about economic justice in the Black community. If the gentleman had to measure it, where are we? I yield to the gentleman from Louisiana.
