                     WELCOMING DR. LORA F. HARGROVE

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Maryland (Mr. 
Trone) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. TRONE. Madam Speaker, it was a true honor to hear the wisdom of 
Dr. Lora Hargrove this afternoon. Her call for unity, shared humanity, 
and peace is perhaps more important today than ever before.
  Dr. Hargrove is a native of Baltimore, Maryland, just like our 
distinguished Speaker. She holds a doctorate in ministry from Wesley 
Theological Seminary, and she is working towards her second Ph.D. in 
African Diaspora from Howard University.
  Dr. Hargrove comes from a long line of servant leaders. Her father, 
the late Judge John R. Hargrove, Sr., was the first Black Federal 
prosecutor in Baltimore and the first Black deputy U.S. attorney. Her 
mother, Shirley H. Hargrove, was a teacher and guidance counselor.
  Dr. Hargrove now serves as interim minister at Rockville's Mount 
Calvary Baptist Church, where my wife, June, and I have seen her 
practice many times what she preaches. From hosting HBCU college fairs 
to finding shelter for women and children, Dr. Hargrove lifts up our 
community every day.
  Thank you, Dr. Hargrove.
