Political Quotes

“I am pleased to join with friends and family of our former colleague and my personal friend, Earl F. Hilliard, who this weekend will be celebrating his 75th birthday. While a Member of this body, Earl and I worked very closely together preserving the integrity of Historically Black Colleges and Universities and supporting the preservation and restoration of historic sites and buildings. This weekend, a gathering will establish a scholarship in his honor in order for more rural Alabama young men and women to have opportunities to further their education. I want to congratulate my friend for reaching this milestone in his life--a place I got to last year this time--and wish him a happy birthday and further success in establishing benefits for young men and women throughout Alabama. ____________________”
