In the @GreeneSun: The Oak Ridge Institute at the University of Tennessee is the culmination of about 40 years of efforts – by many university presidents and faculty, many governors and many citizens – to merge the strengths between @UTKnoxville and @ORNL. https://t.co/86TIGjpC04 — PolitiTweet.org

And perhaps a good first step to changing attitudes toward racial discrimination would be for each of us who are white to ask ourselves this question: How would I feel if police in my hometown repeatedly stopped me for being a white man or a white woman in the wrong place? — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I’m grateful that @SenatorTimScott gave me permission to tell his story. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

So today, 155 years later, hopefully will encourage more victims of racism to tell their stories and more white Americans to adjust our attitudes. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

I wonder how many white Americans know that things like that still happen today in 2020. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Tim Scott, who is an African American Republican senator from S.C., once told our Bible study that police in his hometown stopped him several times for being a “Black man in the wrong place,” even though at the time he was serving as Chairman of the Charleston County Council. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

That long way to go will not be as easy as passing laws – although @SenatorTimScott’s JUSTICE Act, which I am cosponsoring, will definitely help. It will also take changing behavior. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The struggle for civil rights is not a snapshot—it is a panorama. As Benjamin Hooks, the former @NAACP president from Memphis, said that “America is a work in progress. We’ve come a long way, and we have a long way to go.” — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

Congress should work together to achieve a permanent result both for DACA recipients and border security, and any other improvements to legal immigration that we can agree on—this means something the Senate and the House can pass and that the president will support. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

The Supreme Court’s decision will provide temporary relief to current #DACA recipients, but it is clear to me that Congress must act to fix our broken immigration system. — PolitiTweet.org

Lamar Alexander @SenAlexander

President @realDonaldTrump deserves credit for his and his administration’s work to get the #GreatOutdoors Act passed out of the U.S. Senate. I hope the U.S. House will quickly pass this bill, because I know President Trump is eager to sign it into law and #RestoreOurParks. — PolitiTweet.org

The great American outdoors is an essential part of the American character, and the Great American Outdoors Act is an essential part of being good stewards of what Ken Burns has called “America’s best idea.” Today, the U.S. Senate passed the #GreatOutdoors Act. https://t.co/6spDiw5Vc8 — PolitiTweet.org
