by making sure that the bill is fully offset and a sunset provision is included and providing clarity between various stakeholders. i thank ranking member conyers and mr. lewis, civil rights leaders and i cons on these issues for working with senator burr and other stakeholders to reach agreement on this bill and their tireless work on the underlying legislation. it is important that the federal government investigates and prosecutors these crimes to the greatest extent possible and this important legislation will give the department of justice the ability and the direction to do just that. i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves the balance of his time. the gentleman from michigan is recognized. . mr. conyers: madam speaker, in june of 2007 this body passed and the president subsequently signed the emmitt till unsolved civil rights crimes acts. since that time, the department of justice and cold case advocates have reviewed hundreds of cases in the search for justice and a sense of closure for the families of those who fell victim to racial

lewis. a perfect example. yes? >> only had one black player, bill russell. >> bill russell is a great black player, and also the first black coach in the nba. the celtics are ahead of the curve in many ways. let me keep on talking. here is what happens though. in the 1980s, the script about symbolic rotation flips. people are no longer talking about the symbolism of the black athlete. suddenly, they are talking about the symbolism of the white athlete, focused on larry bird. larry bird became something bigger than himself, a representation of something bigger than himself. in the 1980s, he was not just a basketball player. he symbolically represented a white male ideal that was on the defensive in the 1980s, as many saw it. a white male ideal that seemed to be losing ground, not just in sports, but in society at large. whether it is true or not, that was the perception. and so, for many white americans, that photograph gives us a sense of this, particularly for many bostonians, larry bird is their symbol. he is their representative. he becomes their great white hope. but this works in one more way. i keep saying this
