                        Wednesday, July 17, 2019

  Mr. DANNY K. DAVIS of Illinois. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute 
to my good friend and colleague, Mr. Henderson Yarbrough who has just 
ended more than forty years of civic, community and political 
involvement with the Village of Maywood and the County of Cook. Mr. 
Henderson Yarbrough started work with the Village of Maywood under the 
leadership of the Honorable Joseph W. Freelon, the Villages' first 
African American Mayor. As an employee Henderson became immersed in 
affairs of the community and lived, worked and breathed Maywood. He 
eventually ran for both trustee and mayor, winning both positions at 
different times. Henderson Yarbrough has indeed been a role model for 
the Village of Maywood. He and his family have contributed much to the 
well-being of this community, the County of Cook and the State of 
Illinois. He has indicated that he will continue to work with and 
continue to support his wife Karen as she fulfills her duties as Cook 
County Clerk, Proviso Township Democratic Committeeman and 7th 
Congressional District Committeewoman. Although Mr. Yarbrough has 
retired from public office and from being a public office holder he 
will continue to be an involved citizen giving of himself to help make 
the world a better place in which to live.
