                            FREEDOM FOR ALL

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Madam Speaker, I rise to support H. Con. Res. 70, 
Condemning Threats of Violence Against Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities.
  What an appalling, atrocious act to attack these historic colleges 
founded in the midst of the 19th century in the aftermath of slavery.
  On January 5, 2022, at least eight HBCUs received bomb threats; on 
January 31, 2022, at least six; and then on February 1, 2022, 18. We 
must not only denounce it; we must protect these young people and 
ensure their protection.
  I also rise in support of H. Res. 881, Condemning the Heinous 
Terrorist Attack on Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, Texas.
  We must denounce and reject forcefully and continuously the 
scapegoating and targeting of Jews in the United States and, as well, 
terrorism that subjects them to this kind of action.

  Let's continue to stand for the freedom of all.
  And I, as well, stand for the freedom of Ukrainian women and Ukraine. 
I support their freedom and bravery as they fled to protect their 
families, but yet, those who stood their ground and are fighting on the 
front lines.
  We must stop the heinous, evil, vile, and terrorist Mr. Putin, who is 
attacking Ukraine violently. We must win, and we must win right, and we 
must fight and preserve democracy.
