  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I ask for the House's attention 
today to recognize Georgette White Moon's years of public service.
  City Councilwoman Moon was elected in 2004 and will retire this year. 
She represents District 3 on the Tuskegee City Council in Tuskegee, 
Alabama.
  She was born to the late George and late Carrie White and earned her 
Bachelor's degree at Alabama State University. Next Ms. Moon earned her 
Master's degree at Michigan State University and pursued postgraduate 
studies at Tuskegee University.
  She is an active member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Friends 
of the Tuskegee Airmen National Historic Site and Bethel Baptist 
Church.
  She received numerous honors as a teacher and taught in schools in 
Florida, South Carolina, Washington, D.C., Colorado, Virginia, Japan, 
and Alabama. She was the first African-American to teach at Punaho 
School that President Obama attended in Hawaii.
  She returned to Tuskegee after retiring from her teaching career. As 
a city councilwoman, some of her accomplishments include: downtown 
improvements, development of Washington Plaza, increased number of 
retail stores and sales tax revenues and street paving in several 
neighborhoods.
  She also served eight years on the Utilities Board of Tuskegee and on 
Head Start Policy Council.
  She has a daughter, Antoinette Moon Harlan; a son-in-law, Robert 
Harlan; and a grandchild, Aspen Moon Harlan.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing Honorable City 
Councilwoman Georgette White Moon and her service to the city of 
Tuskegee.
