Excellent presentation. Extremely important topics with broader implications across the spectrum of civil rights which are being challenged in the current political environment. Thanks to Deputy Executive Director Hikes for bringing a personal touch to this report. It is so important to keep a "one-on-one" connection with those who enjoy these briefings.
