i am proud to be a member of the naacp today because yesterday, the naacp became the first of the civil rights, human rights organizations to ake a stand against bigotry, xenophobia, islam phobiaaphobia, racism, by passing a resolution at its national convention calling for the impeachment of the president. and still i rise proud, mr. speaker, to be associated with this organization. this is not its first time taking a stand on behalf of the american people. it was the naacp that followed hellly versus -- shelley vs. kramer. it was the naacp that filed and won brown vs. board of education, which literally took , an eviscerated, segregated unlawful segregation. under the leadership of associate justice thurgood marshall, he was the lawyer who took brown vs. board of education before the supreme court. he was the lawyer that was the chief legal counsel for the naacp. he sat on the supreme court. he guided the supreme court. the naacp, again, makes history, and i'm proud to be part of this great association. mr. speaker, i'd also add we are now some 98 days since the mueller report was cal
