On the recordAugust 24, 2021
And still I rise to announce that I will not only vote for H.R. 4 but I will also vote for those who are making it possible and who have made it possible for me to vote for H.R. 4. I will vote for Medgar Evers, who was assassinated trying to secure the right to vote. I will vote for Schwerner and Goodman, two Jews who died in Mississippi trying to secure the right to vote. I will vote for all of those who suffered on the Edmund Pettus Bridge on Bloody Sunday to secure the right to vote. I will do so because although it was signed in ink by a courageous President, it was written in blood.
