And so there was a special role, and I thank the gentleman for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and they have a very special place in history. I'm very grateful that this great leader and hero who is amongst us today, John Lewis of Georgia, was able to come to the floor, with the help of his great staff, to give us the opportunity to commemorate those who many may not know, but to realize that they truly were part of a movement. They had a cause, a belief, a passion, a determination and a commitment to the freedom of all people. Thank you to the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, and thank you, John Lewis.
