I did want to miss that question. Black People Living in stamford connecticut in 1963. It was north stanford so thats it had more land, so there were not, it was just our family. In 63 there may have been more. There may have been two or three. In that section of the town. It was still segregated ourselves in stamford connecticut. What you remember about that segregation being one of the few african americans. I remember in Elementary School children asking me questions. And i remember feeling very insecure. And shy, not being able to speak at all, i wouldnt ask questions. It wouldnt wear o my glasses because i didnt want to be different in any other way. I didnt understand that that was part of my experience there. Being the only black child. Since fifth grade i was the only black child in the school. Why did mom and dad want you to have that. To live there. I dont think they wanted us to have that loophole of isolation or lack of you know they were sending us out there is an experime
Governor Gavin Newsoms request for 50,000 or in vouchers. The secretary saying that there are only 65 being used. The money goes with being able to work together. Federal government is designed to facilitate, not solve all the problems. Secretary carsons visit was met with protesters who argued over the years of funding has steadily been stripped from housing. We know that the federal government has not been cooperating because they havent been investing in housing, public housing, affordable housing. Secretary carson did not meet with the mayor to discuss housing, but the mayor released a statement saying what i learned that secretary ben carson was coming to San Francisco, i invited him to meet to discuss federal housing. I would also like to discuss the horrific rule changes that target our immigrant communities. President trump also waiting on the citys housing crisis saying that the people of San Francisco and los angeles are fed up with homelessness and he also added that his adm

[inaudible conversations] the committee will come to order. Good morning, and welcome to our witnesses, several of whom have traveled the considerable distances to be here today for this important hearing on paid family and medical leave. Before we move to our scheduled committee business, i want to take a moment to acknowledge the recent tragic passing of pamela moomau, a valued member staff of the staff of the joint committee on taxation for over 28 years. A reminder, again, of the considerable talent that exists sometimes outside of the glare of publicity. Pamela began her career at the joint committee on taxation in may of 1991, and over the years applied her skill on many legislative issues, both large and small. Her colleagues on the joint committee on taxation have said that pam was tireless in her dedication to the work of the joint committee, and that she readily accepted projects that were analytically difficult and often data deficient. She was in her office cheerfully worki
But i had a wonderful professor at Columbia Law School who later moved to stanford, jerry gunther. He was in charge of getting clerkships for columbia students, and he called every federal judge on the Second Circuit, in the southern, eastern districts of new york, and he was not meeting with success. So he called a columbia graduate, judge edmund palmieri, who was a columbia undergraduate, Columbia Law School graduate and always took his clerks from columbia. And he said i strongly recommend that you engage ruth Bader Ginsburg. And palmieris response was ive had women law clerks, i know theyre okay, but shes a mother, and sometimes we have to work on weekends, even on a sunday. So professor gunther said give her a chance, and if she doesnt work out, a young man in her class whos going to a Downtown Firm will jump in and take over. So that was the carrot. It was also a stick, and the stick was if you dont give her a chance, i will never recommend another columbia graduate as your law c
