[applause] i'm honored to be here with my friend, terri sewell. the leader of the house, our speaker. she and i have known each other for a few years.

[applause] i did so at the foot of the bridge to remind all of us that our work is not done. it is not ok to say that you stand on the shoulders of these amazing heroes and heroines, and not do your own work. so here we are, marching to do our own work. and as long as a supreme court is hell-bent on rolling back voting rights, selma is now. as long as we have a senate that is entrenched in a procedural vote called a filibuster and not restoring voting rights, selma is now. we must do our part. i know you will because all battles have become new again. no lon

which of course is from selma to montgomery alabama. during the jubilee celebration commemoration of the walk from selma to montgomery courthouse , we brought together nearly 200 to do a five day journey re-creating the march, learning during that time, learning about the marchers themselves. we have some of the original marchers join us at the march. it has created a community of cohorts of people of allies that are committed to moving forward with social justice, civil rights and voting rights. so most people are like i said familiar with the national parks. through our national programs are community assistance we are also looking towards acknowledging the past and moving towards reconciliation. one of our newest programs is the african-american civil rights network. it was passed in 2018 to look at commemorating civil rights. the reconciliation park was added to the network just last year june 29, 2020. we are looking forward to continuing this partnership. they were added under the banner of being a facility as well as a program th

however, there was an author in the unit kingdom doing research on the group that went to selma, and she found that there was a lady that was on the "clotilda," that when she got here they forced her to marry one of the other enslaved individuals and changed her name to sally smith and she ended up in selma, and she worked for a rich white plantation owner who ultimately became president of a bank there, and she lived until 1937, so we've had to put a footnote on everything that she lived, she was younger than cudjo lewis but lived two years longer than he did. most of them were somewhere between the ages of 12 and 21, is 22 years old when they came, and she was one of the younger ones that came over during that time. but we'll go to cudjo lewis, and there's still some people that practice have door, and every now and then when i'm doing tours i can see that they have had a celebration because they leave remnants. it used to be around his headstone. they released silver dimes which is symbolically significant in their practice, and every now and then i'll see candles strategically lo

and she ended up in selma. and um, she worked for a rich, white plantation owner, who ultimately became president of a bank there. and she lived to 1937. so, we've had to put a footnote on everything that she lived. she was younger than cudjoe lewis but she lived two years longer than he did. most of them were somewhere between the ages of 12 and 21, 22 years old when they came. and she was one of the younger ones that came over during that time. but we'll go to cudjoe lewis's and there's still some people that practice voodoo. and every now and then, when i am doing tours, i can see that they've had a celebration because they leave remnants. um, it used to be around his headstone, they would leave silver dimes. which is, symbolically, significant in their practice. and every now and then, i will see candles strategically located. and so, i happened to meet some of them. and um, they invited me to their services. and so, i'm reading up on voodoo so that i will have a basic knowledge when i go to the service. i

king and john lewis and the foot soldiers and others depended -- descended on selma. after the police violence and the deaths of jimmy lee jackson and others, president johnson capitulated and called a joint session of congress. i ask you to go online to take a look at the video. he called the joint session of congress on march 16, 19 55. president johnson capitulated and called for swift passage of the voting rights act. though the voting rights act was filibustered by southern senators, it passed. the result has been nothing less than transformational. our challenge is to demand immediate senate passage of this legislation. that will update the formula and breathe life into section five. we expect senate democrats to vote for passage. we have no doubt about that but we are hoping for at least 10 publican senators and if we don't get those 10 republic's senators, we ask our senate friends respectfully to make a rule change to allow passage by a simple geordie. -- majority. remember this, supreme court justices can be confirmed with if 21 votes. legislation protecting

he joined us in selma hosted by congresswoman sewell and he joined us and president obama in selma and he came and spoke as the president, who had signed the voting rights act. laura bush was there. so their hearts were in all of this. it was bipartisan. i wish it could be today. and in our work to protect the ballot let us recall john lewis' final message after his passing. democracy is not a state, it is an act. h.r. 4, his namesake when congress takes this action to build a future in which we have equitable access to the ballot and to our democracy. in memory of our beloved john, for whom this legislation is named and in the interest of passing it and h.r. 1, of which he wrote the first 300 pages, let us honor our patriotic duty and make justice and equality there for everyone to vote. thank you, adam speaker. i yield back. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlemanfrom new york reserves. the gentleman from ohio. mr. jordan: the things we see today. it's truly amazing to me. i would ask unanimous consent that the gentleman from louisiana be permitted to control our time, madam speaker.

their idea to get the president some power was to organize a march from selma to montgomery and the restt peaceful marchers, including a 25-year-old jon there was, and chased them back over the bridge in selma. the televised violence beamed into the homes of americans later that night, helped a nation find its conscience and galvanized support for the passage of the voting rights act five months later. that was the power johnson needed in 1965. now, 56 years later, that landmark legislation is under assault. two rulings by the supreme court have undermined the ability of the voting rights act to stop the implementation of discriminatory voting laws. according to the brennan center, more than 400 bills restricting voting access have been introduced in 49 states this year alone. there is extraordinary protests today to get biden, president biden, some power to protect voting rights. and that power can have many forms. voters in georgia did it when they got raphael warnock and jon ossoff elected deliver the senate to the democrats. democratic legislators in texas did it. one they left their

she represents selma in congress, so her connection to john though to voting rights and sacrifices mades a great one. i was so proud she prevailed. the john lewis bill also had the great support of the chairman of the judiciary committee, mr. nadler. the chair of the house administration committee, which does elections, the good work of mr. butterfield -- now with the election in 2020 we see even more need, all the more need not just for hr4 and now as1 -- s1 in the senate. the nullification of election that they are putting forth, probably 20 laws that have become law. hundreds have been introduced. you have to wonder why would they not want to make it easier for people to vote just because they want to suppress the boat among people of color. they are also suppressing the vote for everyone else by their suppression, number of polling places, hours that way are there -- we are there. we the people, it has to be the people doing this. over time efforts to expand freedom and now want to contract freedom. this week we are serving women's equality. 101 years ago women won the right to vote

, on the 50th anniversary of the voting -- of selma march. but he came as the person who had signed the voting rights act. and even more important to that, laura bush came too. so their hearts are in this legislation. i would hope that it would be some level of bipartisanship on that as well. we'll talk more about that as we go into the debate on that bill in a little while. but i to again want to thank congresswoman dlawr o'foreheir -- delauro for her relentless, persistent, dissatisfied until now, i hope satisfied to a certain extent, more to come, of the child tax credit. for 10 congresses she's introduced that bill and now it is being advanced. mr. yarmuth, the chair of our budget committee, lead us now as we prepare -- values. what is important to us as a nation should be reflected in our budget. and this will be the case. and under the leadership of mr. yarmuth, who is not only values-based but eloquent in conveying that message, we are very excited about how we go forward. again, i mentioned peter defazio. on the terms -- in terms of t

they just didn't come about selma, alabama or birmingham they knew about bull connor and sheriff clark. they're strategist. we are strategizing today to make sure we are marching, mobilizing and getting the pressure- putting the pressure on the senate where it belongs. you know, voting rights used to be a very non-partisan issue. in fact the v.r.a. was reauthorized five times under three republican presidents, most recently george w. bush in 2006. and so but for the shell which versus holder decision we would still be living unund the v.r.a. we need to fully restore it because we need it now more than ever. >> derek how significant is it this fight is happening nearly 60 years later? have we gone backwards since the m.l.k. era? >> well, this shows the progress that have been made where individuals would be so scared of democracy they would seek to subvert it. our system is built on voter selected elected officials, not elected officials trying to select which voters they feel should participate. that's why today in all of the activities moving forward is so important, that we cannot co

the bill's namesake, the late congressman john lewis, marched in selma. he suffered a skull fracture and bore scars from the beatings he endured that day but bloody sunday was a turning point in the civil rights movement. those images of alabama state troopers beating and gassing john lewis. he's one in the backpack, and his fellow protesters, both horrified and galvanized americans and their politicians. the landmark voting rights act passed just five months after bloody sunday, and its provisions held for half a century until the hard right conservatives on the u.s. supreme court made their idiotic decision to throw out its provision requiring certain historically discriminatory parts of the country to get pre-clearance from the justice department before making any changes that affect voting. to quote the late justice ruth bader ginsburg in her dissent, throwing out pre-clearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you're not getting wet. that's what the j

what do you think is selma reports on what went wrong with the u. s. mission? ghana stern americans were promised a triumph. a whole generation was raised to the 2. no vows that the mission will be a success. we will win this conflict by the patient accumulation of successes, but instead of 2 decades on the us finds itself in the middle of an exodus of truly biblical proportions. the american military has evacuated more than 80000 people in less than 2 weeks, as have ganeth and crumbled under the advance of the taliban. the scaled and pace is unprecedented. 80000. yet this still the swarms of people besieging the airport and bearing the fact that despite all efforts, the u. s. withdrawal is still a catastrophic failure, especially to those who spend months and years thousands of miles away from family and friends trying to build an american dream. amid the sounds of gaston. ah ah. when i joined the military, i was pretty ideal as i wanted to go out and served my country right out of high school. i had sent back with my knees and stuff and i kept trying to get i

i also talk to strategic studies. professor selma lee says the washington is broken, its promises to the country and abandon the citizens when americans had not. or the western capitals had not really engaged the elephant in the room. and they had kind of wished to do it for 20 years. and now that elephant is back impacting, you'll find some full time security forces inside the finest and we're not good. they were still pretty green in their preparation. and the americans knew it, the rest and always knew it. but just because that there had been a lot of investment on the ground by the americans and american waters were demanding as to why. so many of the american troops were still pledged in our father that the us had to make this a drawn, plus the fact that they did not have anything now to offer to the fund leadership all to the a find people. they had tried all types of experiments and those experiments had not worked here this time. they were the direct stakeholders. and yet despite the month of reintegration reconstruction reforming upon society, politics, security forces, noth

he confirmed his leaving his boyhood club barcelona, arthur walden, 2 decades, is now in talks with selma, but nothing is finalized yet. david stokes report you know, messy, started crying before he even started speaking at his farewell ceremony. 3 days after barcelona said they could no longer afford to keep him, he confirmed, he was leaving and was given a standing ovation by the media and several of his teammates, past and present. and to have been on these last few days, i was thinking about what i would say to day, but to be honest, i couldn't come up with anything. i was blocked like i am right now. i was convinced i would stay thousands of fans gathered at barcelona stadium to say good bye to the hero who joined them 21 years ago at the age of 13. since then, each $135.00 titles, go to club record $682.00 goals and has been crowned the world's best player. an unprecedented 6 times. the messy had agreed to take a pay cut to stay, but barcelona still can't make it work. they say, because of salary cat rules in the spanish league. no. say we don't go to college and see. i cannot talk

not clear what was discussed in those meetings, but if you look at a statement that was issued by selma lewis out before he arrived here in doha, which stated in several planned rounds of meetings, over 3 days, representatives from countries in the region and beyond. as well as for multilateral organizations, will press for a reduction of violence and cease fire and the commitment not to recognize a government imposed by force. that statement seems to indicate that all the symbol parties here were trying to convey a message to the taliban. but it will be no international recognition of any government that is seized by force by the taliban in afghanistan. as i said, it's unclear what exactly is going to play out over the next 2 days. there was a huge impetus here to try to get something done to get the interest afghan piece process and dialogue back on track. there was a huge push here to respond in a joint fashion, to what is happening and i can attend to a very rapidly deteriorating situation. many of the diplomats here they are not yet speaking on the record. they are not yet speaking
