On this day in 1913, Rosa Parks was born. Today and every day, let us remember her story and the role her fearless voice played in the Civil Rights Movement. pic.twitter.com/DWKMSeBFlD

Headed to Brownsville today to discuss the contributions of African Americans in the Rio Grande Valley. I will also be attending a hearing to push for voting rights and end voter supression in Texas and nationwide.

Just spoke with BOP Director and reiterated (among other things) the following:
Building-wide lock down must end asap.
Health of elderly and medically challenged inmates must be prioritized.
Family visitation/communication must resume.
Will continue fight #ForThePeople.

We must always remember that inmates deserve human rights. We won’t stop fighting until the infrastructure, medical care and heat at #MDCBrooklyn are at 100%. My colleagues and I were told that full power and heat will be restored tomorrow. #UntilThereIsHeat pic.twitter.com/zFbUkHLGxd

WATCH: @RepMcEachin joins #MTP and calls on Gov. Ralph Northam (D-Va.) to resign.
McEachin: "The question now is, can you lead? Can you help us heal? And given the actions that he's demonstrated over the past 48 hours, the answer is clearly no." pic.twitter.com/SFnC1iIZpo

"He has lost the authority to lead, he's lost the authority to govern. He has to resign," Rep. McEachin said on @MeetThePress. "It's in the best interest of the commonwealth, it's in the best interest of the party." nbcnews.to/2DT2Bal

.@RepMcEachin responds to Northam's comment that this was "commonplace" in 80s: "I can tell you that to the best of my knowledge, it was not commonplace in 1984 ...slavery was commonplace, that didn't make it right...Jim Crow was commonplace, that didn't make it right." #MTP

Appearing as if he was about to moonwalk at his press conference shows Northam "still does not understand the seriousness of his actions," @RepKarenBass tells me this morning on #MTP

Nothing we heard today from Governor Northam helps his state to heal.
We again add our voices to the growing chorus of leaders and organizations who have called on the governor to resign and recognize that Virginia cannot fully heal the longer he remains in office.

Maya Angelou once said “when you know better, you do better.”
Ralph Northam has had three decades to know better but only now does he acknowledge this racist act.
An apology now isn't enough. He must resign.

Black history reminds us that we don’t need to Make America Great Again, because our greatest days are to come thanks in large part to the countless contributions of Black Americans to America’s history.

There is no US history without Black history and for 400 years, Black America has made immeasurable contributions to society. This work continues today, from the halls of Congress to grassroots activists fighting to hold America accountable to its promise of equality for all.

While today marks the beginning of #BlackHistoryMonth, we know that Black History is 365 days per year. Our history gave America its first clock, the world its first pacemaker and literally built the walls of the building that the State of the Union will be given in next week.

As we begin #BlackHistoryMonth, I am proud to share the dialogue I had with @RepRichmond where we explored our past as well as the history we are creating together.
