  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay a special birthday tribute to Ms. 
Ida Hill-Moore, who will be celebrating her 80th birthday on Saturday, 
July 20th.
  Ms. Hill-Moore was born in Columbia, South Carolina and raised in 
Detroit, Michigan. She attended Detroit Public schools, after which she 
attended many institutions of higher education.
  Ida Hill-Moore has dedicated her life to her family and friends in 
all of the communities in which she has lived. She loved her two sons, 
John and Jeffery, very dearly. Sadly, both have passed away.
  In 1957, Ms. Hill-Moore moved to Los Angeles, California, where she 
worked for the Los Angeles Police Department. Afterward, she worked for 
the prestigious Los Angeles County Museum. Ms. Hill-Moore has a long 
history of civic duty and continues to remain active in her community. 
She has served as a Member of the Conference of Concerned Citizens, and 
she is the current President of Angeles Place residential home.
  I am proud to join Ms. Hill-Moore's family and friends as we 
celebrate her commitment and dedication to her family, friends and 
humanity itself. Today, I wish you a very happy birthday.
