                      Thursday, February 25, 2021

  Mrs. MURPHY of Florida. Madam Speaker, as part of our national 
celebration of Black History Month, I am paying tribute to African-
American leaders from Florida who have made outstanding contributions 
to our community and our country. These accomplished men and women have 
not always received the recognition they have earned.
  Today I rise to honor Linda Hill Anderson. Linda is a fourth-
generation Hollywood, Florida native. She graduated from Hollywood 
Hills High School and Sheridan Vocational School and served in the 
Broward County Public School system for over 40 years.
  Linda has been an active member of her community, serving as 
president of the Liberia Civic Association and on the African-American 
Advisory Council.
  Linda was elected to Hollywood's city commission in 2020. She is the 
first Black woman ever to serve on the commission in Hollywood's 95-
year history.
  Commissioner Anderson is a trailblazer and an extraordinary public 
servant. She has dedicated her life to making her Hollywood community 
stronger and fairer. Every day, she works tirelessly to improve the 
lives of her fellow Floridians.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring and celebrating Linda Hill 
Anderson.
