During Black History Month, we celebrate Black Excellence across the country. I spoke about the Evolution of Black Excellence and highlighted some notable examples on the House floor.
The Transportation and Infrastructure committee honored the Congressman with a floral bouquet in a hearing today as well as the Homeland Security committee.
