Chairwoman, and thank you for holding this hearing today. This has been a very difficult week for all of us. As we mourn the loss of congressman john lewis of georgia, a hero to some any of the, a champion for equality, we must, too remember the sacrifice and legacy he and Many Americans made in fighting for our rights and freedom.

Only john lewis could compel three living american president s to come to this house of god. To celebra
