Being late. I really dont have any opening remarks but i welcome all of our colleagues that will do introductions and alternate over to senator feinstein. Thank you very much, mr. Chairman. As you can see we have four nominees before the committee today. I would like to welcome the majority leader, thank you for being here. We have not had a Senate Confirmed director of the atf since march 2015. In fact, weve only had one Senate Confirmed head of the agency since the director position was subject to Senate Confirmation in 2006. I am very pleased that members of this committee will have the ability to question not only on his record but also on his priorities for combating gun violence should he be confirmed to this position. I really have been at this for so long and i have seen as experience so many senseless tragedies at the hands of firearms.

Tonight a look at a defining moment in our nations shared and troubled history. One that began in the mississippi delta 60 years ago with a death here at the black bayou. Thank you for joining us, im joie chen. The delta held secrets close. In the shadows. You can almost hear the whispers of what happened back in the day. The truth of a young black mans mistake, and the horrific penalty he paid for it are trapped in the heat of a mississippi night. If these walls could talk, would they scream in terror . Cry out in desperation . Or would they fall silent in fear . They are the lost walls emmett till saw in the barn on the old sheraton plantation, a place that echos with the horror of a hot august night. Where a kid from chicago funds himself facing the most brutal type of justice. His family called him bo bo, 14 years old, with a stutter. He begged his single mum to let him come to missouri in 1955 to visit his country cousins. He talked beside chicago. He told me stuff you didnt know
