  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following 
proclamation.
  Whereas, since its founding, the Black and Gold in the ATL has been 
and continues to be a worthy instrument for reuniting people who have 
migrated from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, Georgia; and
  Whereas, over the past 20 years, the Black and Gold weekend 
celebration has been held to support the Pittsburgh Steelers and to 
fellowship with family and friends from Pittsburgh; and
  Whereas, the Black and Gold in the ATL weekend has always promoted 
the concept of One Community--One Goal by working with and for 
individuals of all walks of life to make Atlanta a place where 
Pittsburgh natives are seen as well as heard; and
  Whereas, its members give of themselves tirelessly and 
unconditionally to serve our community by being productive citizens; 
and.
  Whereas, the lives of many in our district are touched by the members 
of the Black and Gold in the ATL, our district is a better place due to 
their commitment to excellence in all of their endeavors; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize their outstanding service 
to our District;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr., do hereby proclaim 
June 25, 2011, as The Black & Gold in the ATL Day in the Fourth 
Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 25th day of June, 2011.
