  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Mr. Speaker,
  Whereas, Jim Gullett, Sr., was born in Camden, Alabama between 1850 
and 1852 in slavery, his life has blessed us with descendants that have 
helped to shape our nation; and
  Whereas, the Gullett Family has produced many well respected citizens 
and their matriarchs and patriarchs of the family are pillars of 
strength not only for their families, but for our nation as well; and
  Whereas, in our beloved Fourth Congressional District of Georgia, we 
are honored to have many members of the Gullett family, including Mrs. 
Adrienne Clark one of our most beloved citizens in our District who 
resides in Lithonia, Georgia; 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 
Gullett family 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 Lithonia, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia 
has set aside this day to honor and recognize the Gullett family in our 
District;
  Now therefore, I, Henry C. ``Hank'' Johnson, Jr. do hereby proclaim 
Friday, July 15, 2011 as Gullett Family Reunion Day in the 4th 
Congressional District.
  Proclaimed, this 15th day of July, 2011.
