I stand on this floor the daughter of refugee from Poland. He came here with nothing. He came here with no literacy skills, and a generation later, I’m here in front of you because my father had the opportunity to learn to read, the opportunity to pursue the American dream. 1/pic.twitter.com/eTDV6EvLDv

I stand in Congress today because of the promise our nation made and kept to my father and to me. It is a promise that needs to be made & kept to every young American. An investment in literacy is an investment in our future, an investment in a fair and equal America for all. 4/4
