Sheila Jackson Lee said "I thank the gentleman for taking us through this powerful journey of a continued fight for freedom by the Congressional Black Caucus and incorporating all of the relief given for the continued ailments and disparities of African Americans and leading us to H.R. 40, the Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African Americans Act, which really are components of the work that we have been doing. They are the building blocks of trying to cure extensive disparities. Madam Speaker, I yield to the gentlewoman from New Jersey (Mrs. Watson Coleman), a Member that has worked on disparities focused on the journey of Black women, leading on issues of Black women maternity mortality, as well as my colleague on the Homeland Security Committee and a number of other collaborations." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
