                         HON. CHARLES B. RANGEL

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 6, 2003

  Mr. RANGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate Mary Ball 
Williams Middleton for her lifetime achievements and continued 
involvement in the community. Born in Charleston, South Carolina on 
March 26, 1901, Mrs. Middleton turned 102 this year. Since moving to 
Harlem at the age of 16, she has demonstrated her commitment to 
bettering society. Mrs. Middleton has been an active member of her 
church, the Cathedral of United Methodism in Harlem, NY for over 40 
years. Over the years she served as a member of the Stewardess Board 
No. 4 and the United Methodist women, and as chairperson of Dignity 
Channel. Her community involvement is also demonstrated through her 
involvement at the A. Philip Randolph Senior Citizens' Center, the 
Harlem Council on the Aging, and the New York City Senior Citizen 
Volunteers. I commend Mrs. Middleton on her lifetime of community 
involvement and sincerely hope that she will continue to impart her 
wisdom and love on the community for the benefit of today's youth.
