so, he proposed that dr. king speak. dr. king had gotten some notoriety, a lot of press because of the montgomery bus boycotts, but here never been interviewed by the national press. simeon thought the time had come. it was a year before the march on washington and the "i have a dream" speech. and it was two years before dr. king became the youngest recipient of the nobel peace prize. so, he still had not been named time magazine's man of the year, either. jet magazine had had dr. king on its cover at least twice, and if you know the history of jet magazine, the cover was usually a young starlet, a pretty, young woman. it was a newsmaker, taking the cover. that was rather unusual for johnson publishing. martin luther king, jr. had never addressed a large audience of the national press. also, at the same time, in 1962, maybe even earlier, the fbi, itself, will admit that j edgar hoover had targeted dr. king as a possible pawn of the communist movement in america. anybody who participated in civil rights at that time was suspec

dr. king's legacy. mr. speaker, i had the opportunity to join some 4,000 constituents in my district for the nation's largest martin luther king breakfast celebration. as i sat there i was reminded of his words that we live by and are guided by, faith is taking the first step, even when you don't see the whole staircase. later, i had the opportunity to join hundreds of folks to march in freezing weather, singing "we shall overcome." today, we also mark the beginning of the observation of black history month, to celebrate giants in civil rights, in the civil rights movement, as well as labor and education, transportation, the arts, and the service movement. as we reflect on dr. king's dream, just a few weeks ago, president barack obama from this house floor, mr. speaker, delivered his final state of the union address. in his address, the president delivered a speech filled with the hope and optimism, reminding us that we the people emphasizing all people, want opportunity and security for our families. it was

dr. king and his followers confronted their doubts. they faced their fears and they chose to march on. rosa parks chose to take her seat on that segregated bus. john lewis and amelia boynton and others chose to take that first step onto the edmund pettis bridge, knowing what they would face, they chose to step forward. time and again. no matter how tired or bloodied they were, the men and the women and the children of the civil rights movement summoned their courage. they leaned on their faith and they chose to taking that next step. even without knowing what lay ahead. and so my friends, as we come here today to celebrate the life of dr. king and as we seek to apply his lessons to the challenges that we face today, here's the question facing all of us. what will we choose? what will we choose? when we witness discrimination against others, what will we choose? when we see the right to vote rolled back, what will we choose? when we hear voices saying that we should be satisfied with the progre

dr. king's from gun violence and lack of diversity to persistent poverty, there are issues affecting our communities that must be addressed. in 2015, there were at least 76 gun deaths in my district in new jersey, the 10th congressional district. one-third of all the gun deaths in new jersey last year happened in my district. if we don't do something to tackle this epidemic, then we are failing our children and failing the next generation to give them the hope and the possibilities of being a positive part of this community, uch as we saw in congressman richmond. in my district, african-americans triple. generations are being left behind without a fair shot of success. the economic prosperity and the economic dream are on hold for the african-american communities. instead of working to address bearing ublicans are assault by trying to defund planned parenthood. democrats are working on bold ctions that will help an immediate impact on the challenges facing african-americans. i have tried to do

they start connecting harriet tubman to dr. king and not reali t difference in time and connecting barack obama, but they don't get confused about george washington and thomas jefferson because they had the ten months of school learning about that history, which we call white history, american history, but really white history because you talk only about white people during that time and remove our history. how can it be more productive? taking black history, putting it back into the curriculum and getting rid of black history month. as i said before, if you didn't have black history month, there would be places in this country that wouldn't talk about black history at all. >> i think it's worth pointing out there's a reason black history month is celebrated in february. carter g. woodson had birthdays in mind. abraham lincoln and frederick douglas. >> so, of course, i think it's interesting people don't know february used to be the celebration of american history, only month they set aside for american history before it was picked

so dr. king always said to us that, you know, to be free you have got to overcome the level of wealth and the fear of death, and so we did not talk much about either. though we knew that both were very significant in creating the world in which we live. we were right out of the mccarthy era, so to talk about money too much made you a communist, especially if you were talking about sharing the wealth. not to mention that that was right out of the new testament, -- testament. but we have had a long struggle trying to make this country work. but it cannot work so long as we have barriers of race, creed, gender, national origin, and wealth. to desegregate, to get the right to vote in a democracy and not have access to capital is to only be halfway free. and we have always known that.

dr. king's words, on the context of his character. our historical parks give us the opportunity to literally walk in the footsteps of the americans to secure this vision. those who gathered around dr. martin luther king in the 1950's walked the streets of this neighborhood and its preservation gives us and future generations a tangible link with them. one of them was our distinguished colleague, congressman lewis, and i commend him for his work. it's altogether fitting a man who did so much to establish this legacy brings to the house today a bill to further preserve it. i'd urge adoption and reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman reserves, and the gentlewoman from massachusetts is recognized. ms. tsongas: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. h.r. 2880 is a simple piece of legislation that has broad bipartisan support. the bill will accomplish two primary goals -- to redesignate the martin luther king jr. national historic site in atlanta, georgia, as a national historical p

the other test that dr. king leadership is what he called the giant triplets. racism, militaryism agreed. and those were the three things that we needed to be clear, to be on the guard against and oppose and move our nation past. on those three issues, bernie sanders is clearly the best. he's been the most consistent. he's fought them his entire life. you know, he was against the war in vietnam, voted against the war in iraq. you know, he was out there and locked up in chicago fighting to, you know, fighting segregation in housing and it's that sort of consistency and courage that makes me excited. >> and i wonder if you have to have work hard to convey that to people in south carolina on bernie sanders' behalf. i spoke to simone sanders and she said there's not as many african-american support compared to clinton. sanders still has to work hard at introducing himself, sharing his civil rights record with people. how hard do you have to school people there, so to speak, on what you believe to be his background wo
