Political Quotes

“As Black History Month comes to an end, I would like to acknowledge some of my local NAACP leaders: Ms. Val Ward of Willow Grove; Mr. Craig Brown of Cheltenham; Shaykh Anwar Muhammad of Ambler; Mr. John Milligan of Norristown; Ms. Diana Robertson of the Main Line; Mr. Johnny Corson of Pottstown, whose ancestral farm in Plymouth Meeting was a key stop on the Underground Railway. Madam Speaker, I want to thank these and other local leaders for their tireless efforts toward racial equality. Today, I am pleased to stand here to tell you about a roundtable that we held on Monday with Black business owners. As one constituent expressed to me, they need allies; and so I stand here today as an ally for the Montgomery County and Berks County communities in pursuit of a world free from divides of race, ethnicity, gender, and nationality. Yes, Black History Month is ending tomorrow. May we never stop celebrating Black History Month. It is our American history, and it is the pathway to equality for all. ____________________”
