BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. Speaker, I, along with my colleague from Georgia, Mr. Johnson, am pleased to offer H.R. 4119, the West Hunter Street Baptist Church Study Act.
During the civil rights movement, the church served as a headquarters for many workers and a meeting ground for leaders.
The West Hunter Street Baptist Church served as a spiritual refuge for countless men and women, like our colleague, John Lewis, who devoted their lives to the civil rights movement.
I ask my colleagues to support this legislation.
