RECOGNIZING MRS. ALLIE MUSE PEEBLES AS RALEIGH-APEX NAACP HUMANITARIAN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DAVID E. PRICE

                           of north carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2013

  Mr. PRICE of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate Mrs. Allie Muse Peebles on being selected to receive the 
Humanitarian of the Year Award by the Raleigh-Apex chapter of the 
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, NAACP.
  Mrs. Peebles has dedicated over twenty years of service to the 
Raleigh-Apex NAACP. As Life Membership Chairperson, she has encouraged 
more than half of the branch to become Life Members and secured needed 
funds for the branch's annual scholarship and other endeavors.
  I first got to know Mrs. Peebles as I prepared to run for Congress 
some 28 years ago. I quickly learned how respected she was in Raleigh 
and Wake County, based on her commitment to community betterment and 
her ability to communicate and work with people of varying views and 
backgrounds. After retiring as an English teacher, she continued 
writing for the Carolinian, a biweekly African-American publication 
based in Raleigh, and she remains an active member of the Raleigh 
Alumna Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the Voter Education 
Coalition, the Sertoma Club, the National Council of Negro Women, and 
the Raleigh Alumni Chapter of Hampton University.
  I commend her remarkable service both to the community and the 
Raleigh-Apex NAACP. Mrs. Allie Muse Peebles is very deserving of the 
Humanitarian of the Year Award, and it is with great pleasure and pride 
that I congratulate her on receiving this honor.
