                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 25, 2019

  Ms. CLARKE of New York. Madam Speaker, I would like to honor the life 
and legacy of the late Dr. Lamuel A. Stanislaus. Dr. Stanislaus was 
born on the beautiful island of Grenada and came to the United States 
in 1945 where he received his Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Dental 
Surgery degrees from Howard University.
  Dr. Stanislaus practiced dentistry in upstate New York briefly before 
moving to Brooklyn Heights, where he would service the Brooklyn Heights 
community for 32 years. In 1985, Dr. Stanislaus was appointed Permanent 
Representative of Grenada to the United Nations for five years and 
served as Ambassador-at-Large and Deputy Permanent Representative for 
two years. He was later re-appointed as the Permanent Representative of 
Grenada to the United Nations until 2004. There he became a seasoned, 
substantive and eloquent voice on behalf of his country Grenada, 
Carriacou and Petite Martinique. On occasion, he was also delegated to 
speak on behalf of the Caribbean Community (CARlCOM) and the Group of 
Latin America and the Caribbean Countries (GRULAC).
  To add to his tremendous achievements, Dr. Stanislaus was also an 
activist in his community. As a visionary leader, Dr. Stanislaus 
founded the West Indian Day Carnival Parade--a national day of 
celebration and valor for Caribbean tradition and culture. He left 
behind a movement that began in Harlem and was relocated to my district 
where Central Brooklynites still partake in celebrating our beautiful 
heritage. Dr. Stanislaus was well-versed in the rich history of the 
Caribbean. It goes without saying that Dr. Stanislaus' commitment to 
public service represents leadership, scholarship, integrity and 
inspiration in our community.
  Dr. Lamuel A. Stanislaus was the recipient of numerous professional, 
civic and political awards. It is my distinct honor to announce that on 
Saturday, June 15, 2019, Rutland Road between Flatbush and Bedford 
Avenues in Brooklyn, New York was renamed after his namesake, the Dr. 
Lamuel A. Stanislaus Way. Sir Lamuel A. Stanislaus' life demonstrated a 
love of God, humankind, love of country, love of Grenada and its people 
as well as the Caribbean community at large. Dr. Stanislaus was and 
will remain a motivation to all.
