I would ask my good colleague from the District one or two questions, if I could. I listened very intently. One of my favorite decisions that came down was May 17, 1954, Brown v. Board of Education. Mr. Speaker, the President asked Black Americans, after he came to the city of Philadelphia, he said: What do we have to lose? I think, ``what the hell do we have to lose?'' So I ask the gentlewoman that question in the context of Brown v. Board of Education, and that is over 64 years ago now. And for where we are, I just heard her very succinctly say about his ability to chip away and not, you know, be able to fully overturn. So I would ask her to talk a little bit about how would she see anything relating to Brown v. Board of Education and his ability in any of his writings relating to that particular decision that came down.
