A transcript of a live recording tonight by David Gibbs, the Schindler family attorney:
"In the finest tradition of our nation, whenever there is gross injustice, the United States Congress has always stepped forward and demonstrated leadership to do what was right and to do what was fair. There was a time in this Nation's history where based on the color of your skin or based on the ethnicity you were discriminated against based on who you were. The United States Congress said we will pass the law to enforce equal protection for this nation. There was a time in this Nation's history where some states would treat men or women differently just based on their gender in the workplace or in other arenas. The Congress once again said we are going to have equality for all. There were some states that didn't treat the disabled as the able-bodied. The Congress (did) once again with the Americans With Disabilities Act. Our United States Congress has shown an ability to do what is right under the Constitution, under the Law, under their sense of fairness and justice and I am very proud of what our Congress has done."
