Von Nieda Park Task Force for their efforts in continuing Dr. Martin 
Luther King, Jr.'s legacy by coordinating their 5th annual MLK Day of 
Community Organizing.
  These South Jersey students choose to celebrate the life of Dr. King 
not simply through remembrance, but by following in his footsteps.

organizing. Thanks to their hard work, the Student Leaders' Von Nieda 
Park Task Force has transformed Von Nieda Park into a cleaner, safer, 
more beautiful park through community organizing, and regular meetings 
with public officials.
  For this reason, it is my honor to submit the names of the student 
leaders to the Congressional Record: Jenaya Aide, Jessica Aldana, 
Alejandro Bernal, Eloisa Colon, Karelys Cruz-Bermudez, Samantha 
Fontanez, Elino Javier, Sergio Martinez, Ashley Melendez, Janeliz 
Muniz, Jose Reyes, Rodrigo Reyes, Alex Rosario, Dean Rosario, Lea 
Rosario, Ziani Sanchez, and Itzel Tapia.
  Mr. Speaker, these students exemplify the commitment to community and 
justice championed by Dr. King. I join all of South Jersey in honoring 
their dedication to the memory of one of our country's greatest 
leaders.
