  Mr. SCHWEIKERT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the memory of 
Dr. C.T. Wright, a passionate, faithful, and devoted public servant and 
valued neighbor. C.T. will be remembered as a mentor and true leader 
throughout the education, criminal justice, and faith communities in 
Arizona. He devoted much of his life to civil rights and education, 
working for many of the country's historically black colleges and 
universities, where he then moved on to his passion to help with human 
rights. He founded the Light of Hope Institute, which promotes human 
rights around the world. He also served as a delegate for the Electoral 
College and met six Presidents. C.T. frequently led prayers at campaign 
rallies and promoted faith. He proudly served as the Chairman of the 
Board of Executive Clemency.
  C.T. Wright had great passion for his family, education, faith, and 
freedom. Many will always remember and consider him as their brother. 
He leaves behind a great legacy that has reached out to communities 
across Arizona. He was a thoughtful, compassionate, and kind man who 
always cared for others while ensuring a good future for all.
  C.T. Wright served countless communities unselfishly and served as a 
great leader. May we continue to honor his memory through our passion 
and service to our communities.
