Booker beats the Senate Speech Register on segregation, which has opposed the black residents’ laws

US Senator Cory Booker, dn.j., broke the record of the longest speech delivered on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday, when he protested to the first 71 days of administration of President Donald Trump. Booker officially broke the record at 19:19, paradoxically, Booker exceeded the previous record – 24 hours and 18 minutes – organized by Senator Stroma Thurmond, a segregation that used the Senate procedure generally known as a filibuster to dam the adoption of regulations regarding breakthrough civil rights for Black Americans.

Almost 70 years ago, Thurmond, the White “Dixiecrat” from Southern Carolina, began to the floor of the Senate to stop the adoption of the Act on civic rights of 1957, which was the first draft bill on civic rights transferred by law after restructuring. Ultimately, Filibuster Thurmond didn’t win. Although the law intended for equal voice rights for Black Americans had little influence, he also established key mechanisms for the protection of civil rights by establishing the US Civil Rights and the Department of Citizenship of the US Department of Justice.

Composed to the rehearsal of the Act of 1957, security for the Black Americans deprived of defense rights, Democrats indicate that the protest of Senator Booker was an motion that may harm black and other sensitive communities.

“Senator Booker is on the floor, he talks about everything that comes from the Movement for Civil Rights … When we talk about what came out of the 1960s, such as Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, protecting economic possibilities,” said Brown. He emphasized these social programs “they actually help people keep on the surface and equalize opportunities.”

Booker called the alarm by a message that “we can no longer act under the understanding of business as usual,” says Antjuan Seawright, a democratic strategist that advises several democratic members of the congress. Seawright said that the senator from New Jersey showed “unusual business … not only leadership, but also setting an example of how we need to color outside the line.” He continued: “Not only black Americans, but all those who care about keeping democracy on the right track, as we know, must be and should be.”

Democrats indicate that it is usually symbolic that the black man beat a record of white segregation equivalent to Thurmond. “He is able to do it in a body that has not been built to us to serve, to be honest,” said Brown. He added that the “act of courage” strengthens “the resistance of the black community in our country.”

“We had to withstand many things in this country, regardless of whether it is physical, regardless of whether it is socio-economic or political attacks,” brown contested. “Speech that Senator Booker uses his body, just like black people in this country, to fight for the development of other people, the fight against the oppression of a group of people is quite significant for black experiences in America.”

He also doesn’t surprise democrats that Booker can be a senator who would break such a record. “He was always a man on a mission. He always had granularity, Grind and was always a man on the mission of providing results for his community and our country,” said Seawright, who also noted that Booker is a member of the Congress Black Club, which is understood at Hill Capitol as “Congress’s conscience.”

He explained: “I think he understands the importance of strong, wide arms on which he stands, and the opportunity to remain faithful to the mission.”

Just before breaking the Thurmond record on the Senate floor, Booker confirmed the segregation heritage for somebody who “tried to stop the laws on which I am standing.” He added: “I am not here because of his speech. I am here despite his speech. I am here because as powerful as he was stronger.”
