           HONORING THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF MR. PAUL BEAULIEU

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CEDRIC L. RICHMOND

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 21, 2018

  Mr. RICHMOND. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life and legacy of Mr. 
Paul Beaulieu, an educator and broadcaster, who died on July 24, 2018 
at the age of 75.
  A native of New Orleans' 7th Ward, Mr. Beaulieu graduated from St. 
Augustine High School and Xavier University in 1965, which led him to 
launching his teaching career. At St. Augustine High School, Mr. 
Beaulieu taught English and led the alumni association. He also founded 
the Cornerstone Club, which encouraged graduates to continue their ties 
to the school.
  Mr. Beaulieu shifted into broadcasting after writing an opinion 
column for The States-Item, New Orleans' afternoon newspaper. At WVUE, 
he was the host of a public-affairs program called ``Dimensions.'' In 
2007, he was named general manager of WBOK-AM. Until 2010, he also did 
another program, ``Between the Lines,'' with Lloyd Dennis. In addition 
to his other journalistic posts, Mr. Beaulieu started a newspaper, The 
Spectator New Journal.
  When Mr. Beaulieu retired in 2015, he was recognized for his work by 
the City Council. In May 2016, Mr. Beaulieu received the Asante Award 
for his work in media education. He was a proud member of Alpha Phi 
Omega, a service fraternity.
  Mr. Beaulieu loved the city and the people of New Orleans. His legacy 
will forever be a part of the city and his dedication to community 
embodies the spirit of New Orleans. We cannot match the sacrifices made 
by Mr. Beaulieu, but surely, we can try to match his sense of service. 
We cannot match his courage, but we can strive to match his devotion.
  Mr. Beaulieu's survivors include his wife, Cynthia King Beaulieu; two 
daughters, Samantha Beaulieu of New Orleans and Lyndsey Beaulieu of Los 
Angeles; two brothers, Lovell and Marvin Beaulieu, both of New Orleans; 
and two sisters, Victoria Beaulieu Saulny and Karen Beaulieu Major, 
both of New Orleans.
  Mr. Speaker, I celebrate the life and legacy of Mr. Paul Beaulieu
