hand where harriet tubman operated the underground railroad. these are roads which are narrow and we have a lot of commercial traffic as well as people who just want to look at the scenes. the state of maryland should have the flexibility of using these transportation enhancement funds in order to do what the traveling public wants them to do, and that is to provide a safe experience for the motorists to be able to enjoy our transportation highways. that's what the transportation enhancement program allows our states to be able to do. the mccain amendment would jeopardize those funds. so, madam president, the transportation enhancement program offers flexibilities to our states to be able to provide the whole array of transportation options. it's a very small part of the overall transportation budget. it provides those enhancements that the traveling public wants and needs. it creates jobs and it allows for greater public safety. so for all those reasons i would urge my colleagues to reject the mccain amendment. and with that, madam president,

it's rude because allen west is no harriet tubman. he's not enslaved. subjected in the ways that slaves were. it's important to say this is not that. when you look at the images of lynching, i want you to remember that you can almost always see the faces of the lynchers. you can see the faces because people who were in the public lynching did not need or care to turn their face away from the cameras. they were not ashamed. there is a moment of progress that occurs even when a lynching still occurs, but people turn their face away from the camera. it doesn't mean lynching didn't occur, but shame over racism is a kind of progress worthy of marking. freedom is not slavery. the current industrial, prison industrial complex is horrible and not jim crow. it is something different and worthy of new theories, but all of that still requires us to know the his cor call moments from which we emerged. when it's call thed new jim you, it's to point to a particular way of engaging with the state, and the state subjecting of black bodies. not because it is jim you, bu

that quoote is from harriet tubman, a woman who really was the early champion of civil rights.ement is the story of the women who at times discreetly always dedicated, and too often with little recognition, stood up to tear down the barriers between fulfilling a dream and deferring it. this story of the women of the civil rights movement is a story of our mothers, our grandmothers, our widows and wives, our sisters and daughters who were powerful rattlers down dark lonely roads on the journey toward freedom and progress. they were pioneers. they were made, mothers, at least, at the present volunteers, and entertainers. they were incredible women such as hriet tubman and said turner truth -- soujourner truth. women can and all colors. , from all walks of life, to stand with dr. king and other man of the civil rights movement to map out strategies of change. there were dorothy height, rose of parks, betty shabazz, caress scott king, and the countless unknown women who helped make all our lives more just and more equal. as we celebrate the dre and dedicate the memorial, let us rem

that's a huge tradition because we have got frederick douglass, we've got david walker, we've got harriet tubman, and these self-made black men and women talked about self-determination. so the bulk of that book is a dramatic example of the way in be which malcolm's call for political determination was also reflected in his personal life. because his family are actually pioneers of black nationalism sent to omaha, nebraska, and who are run out of omaha, nebraska, by racial terrorists, by white supremacists who are eventually run out of lansing. and his father is killed and lynched in lansing. so when we think about malcolm x, malcolm x transforms himself over time based on the situation that he finds himself in. he finds himself growing up in an america where small d democracy does not exist, and even though he joins the nation of islam and talks about armageddon and says that the whole country is doomed, malcolm spends the rest of his life trying to transform these institutions even to the point, like sonia sanchez said, when he becomes this human rights activist which he always was, he becomes

it is true because alan west is no harriet tubman. he is not enslaved. he is that subjugated the way that slaves were. -- he is not subjugated the way that slaves were. when you look at images of lynching, i want you to remember that you almost always see the faces of the lin shares -- of the lynchers. they did not need or care to turn their face away from the cameras. they were not ashamed. there is a moment of progress that occurs when, even if the lynching occurs, the people turn their face away. shame over racism is a kind of progress were the of marking. freedom is not slavery. the current prison industrial complex is horrible and not jim- crow. it is something different and worthy of new theorizing. but all of that still requires us to know the historical moment from which we have emerged. when michele alexander calls us out, it is to call attention to a particular way that the state -- not because the current conflict is jim crow, but because we learned something about it. we are not in reconstruction. i can do this without fear of reprisal. yet,

i understand there was someone named frederick douglass and harriet tubman that got out and let that struggle and got him to do the right thing. and just as nobody thinks that i'm just talking about one party, even nixon --see how much i have grown? [laughter] i can even talk bipartisan. even nixon, famously, did not get out and leave the environmental movement. but he signed the epa, the clean air act, and the clean water act, why? because there was of movement how did that made him do it. you can have a crack team president and have a strong movement and get things done. it is time for us to have a strong movement. let me tell you something. this conference is taking place in a moment. we will remember it for a long time. we have been depressed, ask me how i know.
