BLACK COMMUNITY HAS INDOOR FOR
GENERATIONS BUT WE ALSO
pBLACK LEADERS I KNOWLEDGE WITH
PRIDE THE WORK OF THE LEGENDARY
OF THE LEGACY IN THE HISTORICAL
FIGURES SUCH AS DR MARTIN
LUTHER KING JUNIOR WHO SERVES
AS AN EXAMPLE. OF WHAT ONE CAN
DO WHEN LOVE IS FACED WITH
ADVERSITY AND HE BASED HIS
OPINIONS ON THE CONTENT OF
ONE'S CHARACTER NOT THE COLOR
OF THEIR SKIN WE ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE FREE FREEDOM LIVES
THE FREEDOM DRIVEN LIFE OF
HARRIET TUBMAN WHO HERSELF IS
GET SLAVERY TO BECOME ONE OF
THE MOST FAMOUS CONDUCTORS ON
THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD
LEADING MANY TO INSULATE PEOPLE
TO THEIR FREEDOM TODAY WE LOOK
AT MODERN DAY BLACK LEADERS WHO
FIGHT FOR THE BLACK COMMUNITY
KNOWING THAT THEY DO SO BECAUSE
THE MANY TRAILBLAZERS THAT HAVE
COME BEFORE THEM. WE ALSO KNOW
THAT THESE LEADERS ARE FROM
BOTH SIDES OF THE ISLAND THEY
SERVE AS. EXAMPLES TO THE NEXT
GENERATION. LEADERS SUCH AS MY
COLLEAGUES THE SENATOR FROM
GUARDINO. WHO CURRENTLY SERVES
AS THE ONLY BLACK MEMBER ON THE
STATE ASSEMBLY OR SEE THE
SENATE FLOOR. SOMEBODY WHO IS
ONE OF FORTY AND ONE OF ALMOST
THIRTY NINE POINT NINE MILLION
PEOPLE. LEADERS SUCH AS
CONDOLEEZZA RICE WHO SERVED AS
THE FIRST BLACK FEMALE
SECRETARY OF STATE TO THE
UNITED STATES. LEADERS LIKE
GENERAL LEE THEFIRST BLACK
FEMALE TO ADDRESS THE FAMOUS
AMY CHURCH. LEADERS LIKE
PROMINENT BLACK ECONOMIST
THOMAS SOWELL WHO SO ACCURATELY
AND FAMOUSLY SAID AND I QUOTE.
FREEDOM HAS COST TO FAR TOO
MUCH BLOOD IN AGONY TO BE
RELINQUISHED. TO THE CHEAP
PRICE OF RHETORIC. PEOPLE LIKE
DR CARSON WHO WAS MADE FAMOUS
BECAUSE OF HIS HIS THE
MIRACULOUS SURGERY THAT HE
PERFORMED ON TWINS SIAMESE

REMINDER OF WHAT WHAT IS AND
HOW PROGRESS CAN MAKE A
BRIGHTER FUTURE FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION. OF NEEDED KING ONE
SAYS AN OFTEN SAYS WE'RE NOT
SEPARATE RACES WE'RE ALL ONE
HUMAN RACE. I'D ALSO LIKE TO

AND PASTOR JENKINS WHO BRING
LOVE AND COMMUNITY. LET IN
UNITY AND REAL SOLUTIONS TO
PROBLEMS. IN THE FACE OF OUR

HISTORY MONTH AND WE CELEBRATE
TOGETHER AS FORTY SENATORS THAT

FORWARD AND I RISE ON BEHALF
THE LGBT CAUCUS TO SPEAK ON
THAT S. R. TEN- I AM REMINDED
OF PEOPLE LIKE MARSHA P.
JOHNSON AUDRE LORDE. BAYARD
RUSTIN WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES AND
LIVE THEIR LIVES AND IF THEY
HADN'T I MAY NOT BE ABLE TO BE
STANDING HERE NOW- BUT I AM IN
IT BUT WE MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THE
ONLY THE SOME PEOPLE RISE BUT
THERE ARE SO MANY STILL LEFT
BEHIND- DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE
ROSE THAT GREW FROM A CRACK IN
THE CONCRETE. PROVING NATURE'S
LAWS WRONG IT LEARN TO WALK
WITHOUT HAVING FEET. FUNNY IT
SEEMS TO KEEP ITS DREAMS IT
LEARNED TO BREATHE FRESH AIR
LONG LIVE THE ROSE THAT GREW
FROM CONCRETE. WHEN NO ONE ELSE
EVEN CARED I ALSO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE BARBER LEAD SOCIAL
WORKER CONGRESSMAN RON DELLUMS
ALSO A SOCIAL WORKER
CONGRESSMAN MAN AND THEN THE
MAYOR OF THE CITY OF OAKLAND.
AND MOST ESPECIALLY I THINK WE
ALL WANT TO REMARK ON THE
EXTRAORDINARY. OF MISS AMANDA
GORMAN BUT IF LONG AS WE DON'T
CONTINUE TO BREAK DOWN THE
BARRIERS THAT STAND IN THE WAY.
NOBODY CAN RISE TO THEIR FULL
POTENTIAL SO AS WE AS WE
CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH
LET'S ALSO BE AS INTENTIONAL.
IN CELEBRATING. BLACK TODAY AND
INTO TOMORROW AS WE CAN HERE
PREPARE TO BELIEVE THE PATH.
FOR THE FUTURE THANK YOU.
SENATOR CURTIS. THANK YOU MR
PRESIDENT TO RISE TODAY IN
STRONG SUPPORT OF US YOUR TO
KNOW ONE THING. OUR COLLEAGUE

COURSE. HISTORY IS NOT JUST A
HOUSE IS IN A LONG TIME AGO
WE'RE MAKING HISTORY AS WE
SPEAK TODAY AND NOT ALL OF IT
IS GOOD OVER THE WEEKEND THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
HEALTH. RELEASED A PRELIMINARY
PICTURE OF THOSE HAVE BEEN
VACCINATED ACROSS THE STATE. AS
OF MONDAY NIGHT. THIS MONDAY
NIGHT. BLACK PEOPLE REPRESENTED
TWO POINT 9% OF THOSE
VACCINATED. FOR APPROVAL ALMOST
ALL OF THE RACIAL CATEGORIES IN
PROPORTION TO THEIR POPULATION
SIZE. WHICH WOULD BE MORE THAN
TWO TIMES A PERCENTAGE. THESE
RACIAL DISPARITIES OF COURSE
EXIST AT ALMOST ALL LEVELS
EDUCATION CRIMINAL JUSTICE
HOUSING HOMELESSNESS ETCETERA.
AND THESE DISPARITIES EXIST TO
LAWS IN STATE SANCTIONED FORMS
OF EXPLOITATION OVER HISTORY
SUCH AS SLAVERY SEGREGATION
SHARECROPPING REDLINING
MANDATORY MINIMUMS SENTENCING
ENHANCEMENTS. YES SENTENCING
ENHANCEMENTS MORE NOT GOOD
HISTORY FOR CARINO AND MANY
MORE WE CAN'T JUST OCCASIONALLY
INVOKED THE NAMES OF CIVIL
RIGHTS LEADERS FOR BLACK ICONS
INCLUDING FOR DOING SOMETHING
OF COURSE MOST EVERYONE HERE
KNOWS THAT WE NEED TO BE
AFFIRMATIVE IN THE ACTIONS WE
TAKE. TO WRITE MANY OF THESE
WRONGS IF WE GENERALLY WANT TO
HONOR BLACK HISTORY. I
PERSONALLY FIND IT DISTURBING.
THAT EVERY YEAR. IN ONE SENSE
OF COURSE APPROPRIATELY ON THE
FOURTH OF JULY.WE US BLACK
AMERICANS TO JOIN WITH US IN
CELEBRATING THE DECLARATION.
THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL
NINETY YEARS BEFORE BLACK
AMERICANS WERE PHYSICALLY
EMANCIPATED IN THIS COUNTRY.
AND WE SOLD SHORT AN UNDERSTATE.

HAVE THEM BE A PART OF MINE.

CONTRIBUTIONS. IN LIFE. WILLIS

PRODUCTIVE. A GOOD FATHER NOT

MANY WAYS AMERICA SAYS YOU

PRESIDENT AND I WANT TO THANK
ALL MY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE
RISEN TO DATE TO ADD THEIR
VOICE TO THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
OF RECOGNIZING AMERICAN HISTORY.
DEFINE TODAY AS BLACK HISTORY
AND I WANT TO QUICKLY RUN
THROUGH SOME OF THE INDIVIDUALS
THAT I WANT TO ASK YOU TO
REMEMBER ONCE YOU LEAVE TODAY.
BUT AS THE OLD FOLKS SAY WE
COULD BE HERE TO THE COWS CAME
HOME. THAT WE LISTED ALL THE
CONTRIBUTIONS THAT AFRICAN
AMERICANS HAVE MADE TO THIS
COUNTRY. WE STAND IN THIS OF
BLIGHTED CHAMBER TODAY BECAUSE
OF THE INVENTION OF THE LIGHT
BULB SO LET'S THINK LEWIS
LATIMER. WE TRAVEL NOW ON
ELECTRIC TRAINS AND BUSES
BECAUSE OF THE VETERAN OF
ELECTRIC TROLLEY BY ALBERT
ROBERTSON. WE HAVE THE ABILITY
TO PUT OUR FOOD IN
REFRIGERATORS BECAUSE OF MR
STARK. AND WE CAN BOARD
ELEVATOR AND A SEND UP A
SKYSCRAPER IN A MATTER OF
SECONDS BECAUSE OF ALEXANDER
MILES. AND WE CAN HEAR HOME
WHAT A FURNACE BECAUSE OF
ALISON PARKER. AND AS WE
TRAVERSE THE STREETS AND WE
REACH INTERSECTIONS AND SAFETY
KNOWING THAT THE LIGHT TO
REGULATE TRAFFIC LET'S REMEMBER
DERRICK MORGAN. WHEN YOU REACH
FOR YOUR CELLPHONE TODAY. DON'T
BELIEVE THE LIE THAT A GUY
NAMED MARTY COOPER INVENTED TO
CELL PHONE IT WAS A BLACK MAN
BY THE NAME OF HENRY SAMPSON IN
NINETEEN SEVENTY ONE NGUYEN VAN
IT'S A CELL PHONE. MISTER
COOPER ONLY MADE THE FIRST CALL
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY THREE.
CONTINUE PRESS YOUR CLOTHES
TODAY. IF THOSE OF WHO ARE.
REMEMBER CEREMONY WHEN BENNETT.
DARN BOARD. IT FOR ALL OF US
WHO GREW UP WANTING TO BE
COWBOYS PLEASE NOTE THAT THAT
WAS A DEROGATORY TERM FOR BLACK
PANTS THE TERM CALL BOY DID NOT
COME INTO REAL ACCEPTANCE UNTIL
THE LATE EIGHTEEN HUNDREDS AND
EARLY NINETEEN NINETIES WE
START MAKING WESTERNS STARRING
TOM MIX AND WILLIAM S. HART.
BUT BLACKS WERE REFERRED AS
COWBOYS BECAUSE WE ALL HAVE A
FRIEND OR KNOW SOMEBODY WHO
STILL CALL GROWN **** MEN BOYS
SO THAT WAS A DEROGATORY TERM
FOR COWBOYS AND IF IT WASN'T
FOR THE LIVES AGAIN BUT
INDIVIDUALS LIKE JOHN WAYNE WE
WOULD SEE MORE BLACK COWBOYS
BECAUSE BIG LEAD TO CATTLE
DRIVES. HAVE YOU EVER WATCHED A
WESTERN UNION CITY CROSSING A
RIVER. THEY WANT TO BRING A
CALVET CROSS. THE TRUTH THE
BEEN TELL YOU HAVE SEEN IT AN
AMERICAN. BECAUSE THEY WERE THE
FOR ONE TO HIT THE CROSS THE
RIVER TO MAKE SURE WOULD SAY.
THEY WANT SYNDICATE. ACROSS THE
ROOM AND THAT BLACK PERSON
CROSSES FIRST. AND THEN IT MADE
OKAY FOR THE PALATABLE CROSS
BAILEY TO CHAU. AND FOR ALL OF
US WHO MIGHT HAVE UP WITH THE
LONG RANGER. THIS SPARKLY WHITE
GUY IT'S GREAT MATCH PATENTS
SURE WHAT IS WHITE STETSON WHAT
IS COMPARED. THE NEED AMERICAN.
WHAT IS MASS GONE. I HOPE IN
THE LORD YOU KNOW. THERE WAS A
REAL LONG RANGER BUT HIS NAME
WAS BASS REEVES IT WAS A RUN
AWAY SLAVE DURING THE CIVIL.
WAR WHO ESCAPED TO WHAT IS NOW
OR WHAT WAS THEN CALLED INDIAN
TERRITORY. MISTER REEVES WITH A
MASTER OF DISGUISE SO I GUESS
THAT'S WHY THE DAYS LONG RANGER
WAR MASS. HE WAS EXCELLENT
MARKSMEN. HE WAS A SKILLED
HORSEMEN AND YES HE HAD A
COMPANION THAT WAS NATIVE
AMERICAN AND HE WAS DEPUTIZED
AS A DEPUTY U. S. MARSHAL-
DURING A DURING THE LATE
NINETEEN SIXTIES ANY PROTECTED
TERRITORY THROUGHOUT. THE WEST
AND YES HE WROTE A SILVER HORSE.
OKAY SO EVEN WHEN YOU REPRESENT
US IN MOVIES AND TELEVISION YOU
APPROPRIATE ARE TRUE CULTURE
AND OUR TRUE STORY ANOTHER
EXAMPLE HIDDEN FIGURES THE
AMAZING STORY OF THESE THREE
AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMEN. DOROTHY
VON CATHERINE JOHNSON A MERRY
WATER IN THAT MOVIE THERE'S A
SCENE A KEVIN COSTNER PLAYED
WHERE HE FED UP WITH THE STORMS
INTO THE FACILITY ANY SNATCHES
DOWN THE WHITE ONLY RESTROOM
SIGN. THAT NEVER HAPPENED. MRS
JOHNSON STATED I CONTINUE TO
USE THAT BATHROOM DESPITE ALL
THEIR COMPLAINTS THAT THE SIGN
WAS NEVER PULL IT DOWN ONLY
SURE THAT BECAUSE EVEN WHEN YOU
TELL OUR STORY YOU STILL HAVE
TO MAKE. A WHITE PERSON THE
HERO THEY STILL HAVE TO BE THE
PROTAGONIST WE CAN NEVER. HELLO

DOCTOR CHENEY AMAZING.
PATTERSON TRAVEL ACROSS THE
COUNTRY WITH THIS WHITE DRIVER
IT WAS AN EMPLOYER EMPLOYEE
RELATIONSHIP THEY WORK BUDDIES

MADE A NEW MOVIE AS THIS DRIVER
WAS HIS HERO HIS GREAT
PROTECTOR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN. SO
I ASSISTED KNOW THE TROOPS
STORE AND THE NO ONE OF THE
AMAZING COLPOYS IN THIS COUNTRY
WAS A BLACK MAN BY THE NAME OF
BILL PICKETT. BILL PICKETT
CONSIDERED THE BEST CAL BOY TO
HAVE EVER LIVED. HE
PARTICIPATED IN RODEO ALL
AROUND THE WORLD BUT MANY TIMES
WHEN HE PARTICIPATED IN THESE
UNITED STATES HE HAD TO SAY HE
WAS A NATIVE AMERICAN IN ORDER
TO PARTICIPATE. AND I GREW UP
WITH THE NAME OF BILL PICKETT
IN MY HOME. AND I COULDN'T WRAP
MY HEAD AROUND BILL PICKETT
BECAUSE I'D NEVER SAW A BLACK

THEIR PROPERTY IN THE TWENTIES
UNDER THE GUISE OF BUILDING A
