00:00I'm seeing a lot of talk from my colleagues on the left, too, as we shift toward this reinvigorated talk
00:06about Jim Crow and the path to this country.
00:10And as someone who is a direct descendant of a slave, as someone whose great-great-grandfather was born on
00:16a plantation, I can assure you, slavery is over.
00:20Jim Crow is dead.
00:22When I go anywhere, I don't see any white-only signs.
00:26I don't. I promise you.
00:28I am a black man that represents a white-majority district in Texas, the great-great-grandson of a man
00:35born on a plantation, stands before you today as a proud conservative Republican from Texas, as a believer and follower
00:43in Christ, and as a believer in what this country can be if we allow equality for not just Muslim
00:50Americans, not just Buddhist Americans, but also Christian Americans like yourself.
