I had achieved this earlier being the kind of person who squirms in their seat at the pomp & ceremony of these things. Once it begins around the 55:00 minute mark it turns out to be really well done Nancy Pelosi was amazing, Eleanor H. Norton relentless efforts were recognized. I thought the GOP reps must have been thinking about their own history being unusually kind. I got to meet Ms. Nettie W. Douglass after stumbling into her years back when we lived in the same area of the ATL her family foundation was a work-in-progress then, so it’s nice to see her and family get their due. I was impressed.
“.. as always well done again, thanks.
