Black History Month 2026

Congressman Al Green (D-TX-09) is a veteran legislator and attorney serving his 11th term in the U.S. House of Representatives (since 2005). He holds a Juris Doctorate from Thurgood Marshall School of Law (1974), served 26 years as a Houston-area Justice of the Peace, and previously led the Houston NAACP.

Per Forbes Magazine Video Share: 

Representative Al Green gave a speech to explain why he is protesting against President Trump. He was very upset because of an AI-generated image that showed President Obama and Michelle Obama as apes. He said this is a mean and racist way to treat Black citizens, and it reminds him of a time in history when people were not treated as equals. He also talked about how he tried to hold up a sign in the House of Representatives to tell the President that "Black people are not apes," but other politicians got angry and ripped his sign away.

 

In the rest of his speech, Representative Green argued that the country is in a crisis because the President is not following the rules of the Constitution. He confirmed that the President is trying to start wars without asking Congress, ignoring what the courts say, and making decisions that help his own family make money instead of helping regular citizens pay for groceries. Because of these actions, Green believes the President should be impeached, which is a way for Congress to put a leader on trial and potentially remove them from office to protect the country. We of the relaunched Echo NJ's oldest Black-owned newspaper agree with his speaking points.
