Marking Uvalde and Buffalo Anniversary

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. CLARK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, 1 year ago today, the American people were reeling from a white supremacist terror attack in Buffalo, New York.

Families were grieving 10 Black Americans who had been targeted by an ethno-nationalist and murdered for the color of their skin.

Loved ones were still organizing funerals for the victims of America's latest mass shooting, and then we saw the breaking news from Uvalde, Texas--another active mass murder; another crowd of desperate, panicked parents surrounding a school under siege; another statistic, 21 shot and killed.
