  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Ms. Doris Robinson, who was 
born on October 29, 1901, in recognition of her 101st birthday 
celebration.
  Doris Robinson migrated to New York in the 1920's. In 1925, she 
earned a bachelor's degree in Social Work from Howard University in 
Washington, DC. Mrs. Robinson was a teacher in the New York City public 
school system for several years. She also earned a Master's in Social 
Work from Fordham University.
  Doris Robinson has traveled extensively to China and Uganda, as well 
as the Caribbean islands. Through her travels she has been able to 
share her experiences with her family and community. She is very 
devoted to her family and has been an inspiration to all those around 
her.
  Mr. Speaker, Ms. Doris Robinson, who now resides at the Marcus Garvey 
Nursing Home, has devoted her life to serving her family and community. 
As such, she is more than worthy of receiving recognition today.
