Article Excerpt:
Members of the Congressional Black Caucus took to the House floor early Wednesday evening to voice support for Haiti a day after a massive earthquake wreaked destruction on the Caribbean nation. “It’s unimaginable,” Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) said, describing the 7.0 magnitude quake. “It rocks you in your soul.” “We express our continued support of Haiti,” said Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.), who chairs the caucus. “We stand in solidarity with Haitians and Haitian Americans who have lost loved ones.” The chairwoman went on to thank rescue workers who have provided aid in search and rescue efforts. While an official death toll has not been compiled, Haitian Senator Youri Latortue has told the Associated Press that fatalities could number 500,000. More conservative estimates hover around 100,000.
