10/08/2022 Tweet - "The GI Bill Restoration Act is an opportunity for America to repair an egregious fault--the denial of benefits to Black WWII veterans & their descendants. Black veterans answered the call & sacrificed for this country. It's long past time they receive the benefits they earned."

03/17/2022 Tweet - "The cowardly bomb threats against #HBCUs have had a serious impact on students. That's why I'm pleased the Biden-Harris Admin is moving to support students, staff and faculty by making Project School Emergency Response to Violence funding available."
03/08/2022 Tweet - "The cowardly bomb threats against #HBCUs rob students on these campuses of their sense of safety and disrupt their education. That's why I support H. Con. Res. 70, a resolution to condemn these racially-motivated threats and support our HBCU students."

07/16/2021 Tweet - "#HelpIsHere from the American Rescue Plan. More than 2,500 @SCSTATE1896 students will have debt forgiven, totaling $9.8 million. Without help, many would've had to drop out. We must continue this progress to make education affordable & accessible for all."
