                          HELEN MAYBELL ANGLIN

 Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. President, it is indeed my pleasure and 
privilege to join the family and friends of a distinguished citizen of 
Chicago, IL, Mrs. Helen Maybell Anglin, in celebrating her 50th 
anniversary in the restaurant business. Mrs. Anglin has always held 
that the ``good things in life ought to be enjoyed by all people, 
especially good food.'' As owner and manager of the Soul Queen 
Restaurant, a popular soul food eatery located on the Windy City's 
Southside, Mrs. Anglin works her special magic to turn simple, down 
home fare into something spectacular.
  Aside from being a local legend, Mrs. Anglin has been nationally 
recognized for her culinary talents. Her recipes have been published in 
numerous sources, including the Ladies Home Journal. She has also 
appeared on local and national television programs, including the Oprah 
Winfrey Show, to demonstrate her masterful cooking techniques. 
Throughout her career, Mrs. Anglin has been instrumental in exposing 
the public-at-large to delicious soul food cuisine.
  In addition to being a successful restauranteur, Mrs. Anglin has been 
a committed civic leader for decades. She is one of the original board 
members of the PUSH Foundation and has been an active supporter of the 
NAACP, the League of Black Women Voters, and the United Negro College 
Fund. She is well known for inspiring young people to maximize their 
educational opportunities and has provided financial assistance to help 
many achieve their goals.
  Mrs. Anglin combines her private passion for good food with her 
public commitment to the common good. Her community work and civil 
rights advocacy represent a singular distinction for this woman of and 
for the people. She has distinguished herself as one of Chicago's most 
valuable leaders through her extraordinary talent, innovation, and 
compassion. Her achievements and dedication to quality in all her 
endeavors are a shining example to us all, and I am honored to know 
her.
