william: two years ago, the epa opened up a civil rights investigation looking at whether state regulators here in louisiana were allowing petrochemical and oil and gas companies to build and pollute in a way that disproportionately harms black communities. in response, louisiana's then attorney-general, and now governor, jeff landry, sued the epa, and the agency dropped the investigation. the epa declined to comment, citing pending litigation. >> we're gonna focus on mitigation with climate change. william: in ascension parish, another community with concentrated petrochemical plants, ashley gaignard is counting on a younger generation to enact change. she founded the organization "rural roots louisiana" to teach kids about environmental issues. >> that creates another generation of awareness. it preserves our land, it sustains what we have. because if we don't start preserving it, industry is going to buy out every piece of clean property that they can. william: all three of gaignard's children were born premature and with low birth weights. she says, at the time, she didn't connect her

the first histories around reconstruction that called into question black folks' capacity to bear the burden of citizenship, that talked about, you know, the carpet baggers and black folk as inherently corrupt and corrupting, the democratic process. what's interesting to me, khalil, is that when we think about the first lost cause and the first redemption, and we think about all of those children educated in that lie, they turned out to be the adults in the 1940's and 1950's. they were the ones who were shouting racial epithets. they were the ones who are lynching. they were the ones who are engaged in the violence, in the face of the attempt at second reconstruction. khalil: right. prof. glaude: so what we see now is this -- this all-out assault on the story that we tell ourselves, to produce particular kinds of people, right? and, you know, at the heart of we are the leaders we've been looking for, at the heart of my work, is the moral question, it is the beating heart of my work, is the moral question. what kind of human being do you aspire to be? what kind of human being are you? and so

williams: i rise in support of h.r. 7987, the plain language in contracting act. far too often the government uses language that's difficult to understand when it solicits contract opportunities. no one feels the burden of this government speak more than small business owners looking to break into the federal marketplace. we've heard from small business owners about how their limited resources often prevent them from hiring a team of attorney to go through the solicitations to see what the government is trying to purchase. one told our committee they examined several contracts and only 3% were written in a way someone without a college degree could understand. the number of small businesses working with the government is shrinking and we hear the barrier is too high. this bill would remove the barrier and force the government to take commonsense action and write contracts using simple and plain language. i urge all my colleagues to support h.r. 7987. thank you. i reserve my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from texas reserves his time. the gentlelady f
