        RECOGNIZING INDUCTEES OF THE ARKANSAS BLACK HALL OF FAME

  (Mr. HILL asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise today to 
congratulate the six Arkansans in the 2018 class of inductees of the 
Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. This year's inductees include:
  Kevin Cole, a celebrated painter, printmaker, and sculptor;
  Brent Jennings, a prolific award-winning actor and director;
  Lieutenant General Aundre Piggee, U.S. Army deputy chief of staff for 
logistics at the Pentagon;
  Darrell Walker, a former NBA player and current men's basketball 
coach at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock;
  Mary Louise Williams, a legendary educator and political leader; and
  Florence Price, the first African American woman recognized as a 
symphonic composer and to have a composition played by a major 
orchestra.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to recognize these six Arkansans who will 
join the Hall of Fame's more than 140 members for their lasting 
contributions to our communities and our State. I congratulate these 
inductees who exemplify the spirit and dedication behind this fine 
honor.
