Friends --

Black History Month is a reminder that we must continue to
celebrate and honor the work of our predecessors -- like my late
colleagues John Lewis and Elijah Cummings -- by recommitting to
racial justice and equity.

My father was a Lutheran minister in Detroit who worked with
Martin Luther King Sr. after his son was killed and pushed to
desegregate housing in the 1960s. He set an example for me -- one
that I still live by -- to always do what is right, even when it's
not easy.

As we recognize the long history of both victories and
challenges faced by Black Americans, we understand that the fight
to secure racial equality has spanned over generations.

And that fight must continue. There are long-overdue measures
our nation must take to dismantle systemic racism and ensure
equality for everyone -- addressing racial disparities in
healthcare, policing, access to housing, and much more.

I ask you to commit to this fight today in honor of Black
History Month -- but remember that we must honor that commitment
every day of the year.

Thank you.
