[applause] and i also want to recognize and thank senator scott whose partnership helped us pass the legislation and congressman bobbyo kept the fight alive for so many years in the united states congress. congressman rush, you've dedicated your career to guiding the nation to justice and i think you. [applause] and thank you to so many other leaders that are gathered here that helped us reach this very important day. leaders who witnessed the brutal reality of lynching and reverend weill and parker, cousins of emmett hill for whom the story s of the crimes are not lines in a history book but vivid memory. so today we are gathered to do unfinished business. it is and has always been a hate crime. to be clear the federal government may not prosecute the crimes as such. lynching is not a relic of the past. racial acts of terror still occur in the nation and when they do, we must all have the courage to name them and hold the perpetrators to account. i will say so often and it has been said. they were working to build a burglar america -- better america. they were education of america's leaders and activists who were de
