Again, I emphasize her commitment, dedication, and work on historically Black colleges, and she is absolutely right: $10 billion. But more importantly, that is layered upon the dollars out of the American Rescue Act, out of the CARES Act, and the debt under President Joe Biden that has been effectively worked on in this congressional session. We know that we are doing better by our students because we have done better by them as it relates to education. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Watson Coleman), who chairs the Subcommittee on Transportation and Maritime Security of the Committee on Homeland Security and has been committed to improving the lives of young African-American women and, of course, those dealing with mental health issues as well. {time} 2000" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
