Lee believes strongly in civil rights. I want the record to be clear about Bill Lann Lee. his personal history and his professsional credentials. both of which make him the perfect candidate to be Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights. Bill Lann Lee was born in Harlem. the son of hardworking. patriotic. immigrant parents who came to this country because they believed America was the land of opportunity. His father. William Lee. not only spoke of this. but also showed his son by example. that a penniless immigrant who works hard in this country can make a better life for himself and for his family. Many of us know the senior Lee was a laundryman in New York. who faced daily unspeakable discrimination. What some of my colleagues may not know is that the senior Lee volunteered in the U.S.
