                   REMEMBERING CONGRESSMAN JOHN LEWIS

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, we learned from civil rights giant 
Congressman John Lewis that we have a moral obligation, a mission, and 
a mandate to speak up, to speak out, and do it in good trouble.
  In honor of your legacy, Congressman Lewis, I will continue the path 
of good trouble by demanding that water is a human right, by banning 
racist facial recognition technology, repealing the opportunity zones 
and spend that money on helping end poverty in Black communities. I 
will continue to fight to pass your Voting Rights Act.
  You reminded us every single day in this Chamber that waiting isn't 
always the right option. Too many of our residents don't have time to 
wait any longer. The oppression is killing them.
  It is an honor to have served with you, Congressman. I will never 
forget walking across the Pettus Bridge with you and my young son.
  Peace and love.
