And still I rise. I thank Mr. Nadler, Ms. Lee, and Mr. Perlmutter. Mr. Speaker, I rise because I see this as a bill that will benefit some of the least, the last, and the lost; people who have been denied access to housing, denied access to loans, denied access to things that we need to succeed in the United States of America.

This bill will help a lot of Black men have opportunities that they have been denied.
