Cory Booker Just Gave The Longest Speech In The History of The US Senate
Only two men have spoken on the floor of the U.S. Senate...
In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.”
A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech.
