Activist Dion Diamond sitting on a counter stool during a civil rights sit-in, Arlington, 1960. He sat there being insulted, harassed, hit and was arrested multiple times for doing it and he’s still alive today. —It was in the year 1960, at the height of racial segregation in the United States, Dion Diamond, a black man, had grown tired of having his rights constantly trampled on. "Crazy Diamond" they called him at that time, this man entered the premises and went directly to the white area, sat down and stayed there without flinching. Sometimes groups of people gathered around him, threatening and insulting him and "Crazy Diamond" kept sitting without moving an inch. Dion said "I would sit down, and they would tell me that they couldn't attend to me and I didn't move, groups of up to 15 or 20 people would come to tell me to get out and I didn't flinch, I would only leave if they threatened to call the police" Just by sitting down, this activist made many people stand up and fight for change, with an act as simple as sitting down.

I plan to oppose every cabinet level nominee that is considered on the Senate floor going forward. The recklessness on display has already proven to be incredibly harmful and will only continue, unless we do something. I will do everything in my power to stand up for Delaware.
