  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute and to honor 
Tremaine Antoine Price, an artist, minister, and man of community. 
Tremaine Price is currently a Community Relations Coordinator at 
Success Academy Charter Schools serving the Harlem community in several 
ways including Family Academic Events, tutoring for scholars, parent 
counseling, and fundraising initiatives.
  Tremaine Price, born and raised in Brooklyn, was a burgeoning young

Black Caucus, and the Posse Foundation Merit Leadership scholarships to 
pave the way for his collegiate studies at Vanderbilt University. There 
he participated in and led several student organizations and honed his 
theatrical skills, highlighted by directing a student version of 
Ntozake Shange's play, ``for colored girls who have considered suicide 
when the rainbow is enuf'' and founding The Black Arts Series at 
Vanderbilt University.
  Tremaine Price is a drama minister and playwright, his original play 
is titled ``For Christian Girls'' and it debuted in August 2011. He 
strives to incorporate performance art into worship, which not only 
means acting out skits, but also revealing the truths of our triumphs, 
fears, suffering, and joys through the Christian faith. He is a member 
of the Young Adult Ministry (Praise Team), the Berean Brotherhood, and 
the servant leader for the Spiritual Expressions Drama Ministry. He 
intends on pursuing higher education degrees in Theatre Education and 
hopes to one day grace the Broadway stage.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Tremaine Antoine Price for his 
leadership in the religious word and in his community.
