now, when such efforts failed in the south, howard continued in the west. he served as the main general in the war of 1877. one of the last big indian conflicts in the 19th century. in negotiations, he constantly demanded that they give up their culture and lands and resort to small farming. in a recorded negotiations, he lost his patience, saying, 20 times over i hear that the earth is your mother. i want to hear it no more. so what was the outcome of all these ideas and policies? in my opinion, the vision remains prominent in the west despite some individuals like general william sherman who argued that it is better that the indian race be oblit rated. while it failed in the south. by 1874, the u.s. government was indeed moving away from the full promise of reconstruction in the south while stepping up efforts in the west. the failures of reconstruction re worgs ten lectures of their own accord but i wanted to cover one of the failures of the specific law i mentioned. the southern homestead act. intended to create a black yeomanry, a law failed. why? 06947 million acres of the

speaker, on the summer day in 1984, a young gay man named charlie howard was walking down the street in bangor, maine. a car full of teenagers pulled up and started yelling slurs at him. they chased him down, beat him up, and threw him in a river where he drowned. since then we have made a lot of progress on lgbt rights in maine. we passed civil rights protections. we passed marriage equality. and in maine as in the rest of the country we have come far. but as the shooting in orlando has reminded us, we still have a long way to go. we're reminded that lgbt men and women can suddenly find themselves facing the same fear that charlie howard probably felt on that bridge in bangor, maine, over 30 years ago. civil rights and marriage equality are very important, but they are not enough. we must not rest until our lgbt neighbors enjoy the respect and dignity that they deserve. and until they do not feel that their safety is at risk because of who they are. mr. speaker, i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman yields back. for what purpose does the gentleman from illinois seek recognition? >>

>> the greenboro river and howard's creek is the same creek that did much of the damage through white sulfur springs and greenbriar resort and it flows right by the main access tunnel that goes under the railroad to get to our main road. it destroyed the bridge heading to that tunnel, flooded the tunnel and there's multiple sections of the road on the way to our house that are just gone. there is a back way to get there, but it's not in good shape either. >> well, jim, we appreciate you giving us a sense of what it's like there. we hope that you get home soon. we hope all of those animals you talked about are okay, and thank you, again, for just helping us understand what it's like there. we're wishing you the very best of luck to you and your family. >> thank you so much. >> all of our prayers with the people there in west virginia. turning overseas now, the united kingdom divided over the fallout of the vote to leave the european union. clarissa, we understand this might possibly be just the first search racial over the next few months. >> that's right. the dominos just keep on falling, victor. voters in scotland and in northern ireland went against

coming to the white house and the main role i'm going to be playing in this process is to remind the american people that this is a serious job. this is not reality tv. >> howardw meetings like this go. when it is bernie sanders and barack obama in the room today. if barack obama's goal is to get bernie sanders get comfortable with the idea of endorsing hillary clinton and uniting the party, how does he pursue that in the meetmeeting? >> bernie is straight forward and i suspect the first thing the president will do is let him talk. let him find out. bernie knows the answer to that question. no one else in the country does. let's listen to bernie and see what he has to say. i have my own hopes. i actually think that bernie, i actually agree with bernie on a lot of the issues, especially like wall street and income inequality. i share his goal that i want to see that stuff on the platform and stop trying to appease all different kinds of interests that haven't helped america in the last 20 years. i hope that the platform will reflect, in fact, where the democratic party is. the democratic party voted fairly overwhelmingly for hillary clinton but it is a very str
