                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ANN WAGNER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 29, 2020

  Mrs. WAGNER. Madam Speaker, while I unfortunately was unable to 
attend the vote series on July 27, 2020 due to events in my district, I 
would have strongly supported S. 2163, the Commission on the Social 
Status of Black Men and Boys Act. I was proud to have previously voted 
for this legislation on June 25, 2020, as part of the JUSTICE Act. I 
believe we must continue to address inequality, expand opportunity and 
prosperity for Black men and boys in our country, and make the American 
dream accessible to all.
