  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, Whereas, in the mid 1800s, the 
union of Henryetta Hubboard and William Johnson in Choctaw County, 
Mississippi has blessed us with descendants that have helped to shape 
our Nation; and
  Whereas, the Hubboard and Johnson union produced many well respected 
citizens, today we honor all of the matriarchs and patriarchs, who are 
pillars of strength for the Edwards, Johnson and Hubboard families; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have many members of the Edwards, Johnson and Hubboard 
families, such as Ms. Dorothy Edwards, who are some of our most 
productive citizens in our District; and
  Whereas, family is one of the most honored and cherished institutions 
in the world, we take pride in knowing that families such as the 
Edwards, Johnson and Hubboard families have set aside this time to 
fellowship with each other, honor one another and to pass along history 
to each other by meeting at this year's family reunion in Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Edwards, Johnson and 
Hubboard families;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
July 22, 2011 as Edwards, Johnson & Hubboard Family Reunion Day in the 
4th Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 22nd day of July, 2011.
