  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
remarkable public servant, Ms. Barbara Brown.
  Ms. Brown was influenced by her history and government teacher to 
return to her hometown of Canton, Mississippi, to teach because he saw 
a spark of passion in her for educating youth. She retired from 
education after serving 47 years as a teacher at Canton High School.
  Ms. Brown attended Jackson State University and received a degree in 
Social Science. Three years later she returned back and received her 
master's degree in Social Science.
  Ms. Brown currently resides in Canton, Mississippi. She has two sons 
and one grandson. She attends Middleton Groves A.M.E. Zion Church in 
Canton, Mississippi. She enjoys working with students because she feels 
that she can make a difference in their lives.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Barbara Brown for her dedication to serve her community.
