                                 ______

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, April 16, 2021

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate Ms. 
Luneata Hite, a long-time resident of Detroit in Michigan's 13th 
Congressional District as she celebrates her 105th birthday. Truly an 
amazing milestone to reach in life.
  Born in New York in 1916, Ms. Hite spent part of her childhood in 
Texas before settling in Detroit, Michigan. She went on to attend The 
University of Michigan and pursued a career in social work. Ms. Hite 
takes pride in one of her most interesting and powerful work pursuits--
helping to investigate restaurants accused of discriminating against 
African American patrons. This work should inspire us all in this 
Chamber as we continue to rid society of all forms of discrimination. 
In 1941 Ms. Hite married Sherman Johnson and was a devoted wife. 
Together they nurtured and raised three children in their home in 
Detroit.
  Ms. Luneata Hite is cherished by her family, friends, and neighbors. 
Please join me in wishing her a very happy birthday, surrounded by love 
and light
