                         TRIBUTE TO WILEY PRICE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. WM. LACY CLAY

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 23, 2003

  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Wiley Price for 
being awarded the 2003 Excellence in Communications Award by the 
Greater St. Louis Association of Black Journalists. Winning the 
Photojournalism award for the News, Features and Sports categories, 
Price was honorably recognized for his outstanding ability to capture 
photographs that speak to the masses. In a world where a photograph has 
more impact than the story of a thousand words, Price has exceptionally 
conveyed messages of importance to the African-American community in 
metropolitan St. Louis.
  Impressively, Price exhibits his dedication to increasing the 
positive image of African-Americans in the media by unselfishly 
donating his time teaching minority youth the importance of 
Photojournalism. He has volunteered twenty years with the Minority 
Journalism workshop. Price has influentially shaped the careers of 
minority youth interested in Photojournalism. Through this free 
workshop, he has taught many high school students and college freshmen 
how to take photographs that tell stories which need no explanation.
  Mr. Speaker. It is with great honor that I recognize Wiley Price 
before the U.S. House of Representatives. Receiving this esteemed award 
and his unwavering commitment to educating the next generation of 
Photojournalists, makes him more than worthy of receiving our 
recognition today. I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Wiley 
Price.
