                          PLEASANTVILLE NAACP

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, the NAACP has been at the forefront in 
the fight for equal educational, social, economic, and legal rights for 
African American communities.
  The Mainland-Pleasantville NAACP branch, led by President Olivia 
Caldwell, has continuously fought for those things, and they recently 
held their annual Freedom Fund Awards Luncheon. The luncheon honored 
the people who fought alongside the NAACP and their efforts for equal 
rights.
  President of Atlantic Cape Community College, Dr. Barbara Gaba, 
received the education award for furthering educational fulfillment in 
the African American community.
  I would like to thank Dr. Gaba, President Caldwell, and the NAACP for 
their resilience in the fight for equality that not only impacts the 
people of south Jersey, but all Americans everywhere. We all have the 
same blood flowing through our veins.
  May God bless them.
