[applause] here in thed world's largest library, side-by-side with the papers of frederick douglass, abraham lincoln, mary church terrel, and thurgood marshall. rosa parks lived a life dedicated to equal rights and social justice, and she helped change the country with examples she said. as a statue of rosa parks stands with pride in the capitol rotunda, in this exhibition, you will see her standing tall, quite literally, as her photos, images of her papers and video tower more than 12 feet above you. none of this would have been possible without the generosity of the howard g buffett foundation who made the rosa parks collection a gift to the nation. jesse started when holland, a journalist at the time, learned that the collection was stored away in boxes in a warehouse. he wrote a story about it and his story was read and seen by mr. howard buffett, who bought the papers and gave them to the library, so that they could be preserved, scanned, and seen by everyone. jesse is now a scholar to resident in the library of congress's john w center. that deserves a hand.
