                      Thursday, September 30, 2021

  Ms. BUSH. Madam Speaker, the rich roots of advocacy, activism, and 
community organizing etched in the NAACP's history continue to 
reverberate through the countless lives you all have touched. I am 
deeply heartened at the opportunity to celebrate the Saint Louis County 
Chapter of NAACP on 84 years of service and leadership in our 
community. St. Louis has unquestionably been made better by the work 
that they all have committed themselves to, and I am honored to be 
their representative.
  The fight for justice for Black people has been one fraught with pain 
and strife, but that very pain produces a strength and resilience in 
each of us that gives us the courage to fight onward amidst the 
adversity. That resilience is beautifully evidenced in this chapter's 
work throughout St. Louis. As our office continues to do the most for 
all people starting with those that have the least, I am grateful to be 
in this struggle alongside them. I thank the Saint Louis County Chapter 
of NAACP for their commitment and extend congratulations on 84 strong 
years.
