Sheila Jackson Lee said "It is my privilege now to, first of all, thank the Honorable Joyce Beatty, who is the chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus, for her continued efforts to ensure that the American people know our message and our power, know the work that we are doing, know the success that we are having, and also give us an opportunity to articulate the historical record of African Americans and those who have heritages from elsewhere. I also take a moment to congratulate her for receiving the Juneteenth honors in Washington, D.C. last Thursday from the Juneteenth Foundation. It was a privilege not only to be with her and to acknowledge many others who received those honors but to be there on such a special night. She was well-deserving. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from Ohio (Mrs. Beatty), who is the chair of the Congressional Black Caucus." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
