in the world and we take pride in knowing that families such as the 
Webb-Hudson family have set aside this time to fellowship with each 
other, honor one another and to pass along history to each other 
through their family reunion in DeKalb County, Georgia; and
  Whereas, the U.S. Representative of the Fourth District of Georgia
