                        Friday, October 2, 2020

  Mr. HOLDING. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy 
of Mahatma Gandhi, one of the most influential men of the modern world. 
As we celebrate the close of the 150th anniversary of Gandhi's birth, 
it is important to remember that his legacy is born out every day in 
the lives of billions of people who live the way they do because of his 
selfless work.
  His teachings of non-violence have impacted the entire world; and his 
promotion of racial, social, and political equality will continue to 
touch the global community as we work towards a brighter, freer future.
  It is vital that we continue to embody Gandhi's perseverance and non-
violent ways as we work to make the world a better place. Today, we 
honor his legacy and the power that an individual man had to change the 
world. 151 years ago, Gandhi was born an ordinary man. Today, he is a 
worldwide symbol of peace and civil disobedience. May he continue to 
rest in peace, and may his legacy prevail eternally.
