“We are humbled by the gentleman's words. We are humbled by this moment in history. I will conclude my remarks by building on Congressman Torres', that we are humbled, but we are honored, but we are ready to work. I will leave you with these words from our colleague and others. John Lewis said we are in a very difficult time in our country. I am afraid we may wake up one day in America, and our democracy is gone. But he went on to say that when you see something that is not right, say something, do something, get into good trouble. One of our ancient fathers, Frederick Douglass, said that there is no power without struggle. Tonight, we have laid the landscape of genius, contributions, sacrifice, brilliance, and the commitment to civil rights that is the Congressional Black Caucus. Our message, our power, Our Power, Our Message. We will continue to work. We will not yield, not give in, not give out, and not give up. Madam Speaker, let me thank my colleagues for joining the CBC Special Order tonight, and I thank the Speaker. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.”
