BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to say thank you to the millions of Americans who peacefully put this bill on the agenda.
It was nowhere last year until we saw 8 minutes and 46 seconds of a man being murdered, a Black man, George Floyd. People--White, Black, all different colors--took to the streets, and they said, ``No more.'' I want to thank those activists and ordinary people who said we don't have to tolerate this.
The bill passed last year, and it is going to pass again because the American people are tired of this racism and the killing and killing and killing of Black people.
