                            AMERICAN HISTORY

  (Ms. STANSBURY asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STANSBURY. Mr. Speaker, Black history is American history, 
indigenous history is American history, Latino history is American 
history, and women and LGBTQ+ history is American history.
  We will not be silenced.
  No illegal or unconscionable executive orders can erase American 
history. No firing of generals or Federal workers, no banning of books 
or threats to schools, no purge of websites or removal of artifacts 
from the Smithsonian or any other institution, and certainly no change 
to our national holidays will erase American history because the people 
of this country will not be silenced.
  We will not allow this President to turn back the clock to take away 
American rights. We will keep speaking, we will keep marching, and we 
will keep fighting to protect our democracy because this is our 
country, and we are not going back.
