My great, great grandfather was born on a plantation, Rose down Plantation, about 30, 30 miles north of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. It's still there today. I bring this up because today is MLK Day. Three of his [great, great grandfather's] great, great grandchildren went to West Point. Three of us served this great nation. One of them, me, became a United States Congressman in a white majority district in a suburb of Houston, Texas, that President Trump would have won by 20 points. (09:19–09:23)
