                      Wednesday, November 3, 2021

  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Carr Center 
in Detroit, Michigan as they celebrate thirty years of preserving, 
presenting, promoting, and developing African and African-American 
cultural arts traditions within our multicultural community in 
southeastern Michigan.
  Founded in 1991 as the Arts League of Michigan, the Carr Center has 
worked to fulfill its mission of bringing artistic excellence with a 
wide array of programming to the communities of Detroit. Building upon 
its initial creative placemaking, the Carr Center has become a 
destination and hub for the performing arts in Detroit.
  In order to bring outstanding artistry to the community, the Carr 
Center has implemented three pillars of programming--Carr Center 
Presents and Carr Center Contemporary focus on performing and visual 
arts, while the Carr Center Arts Academy offers in-school and intensive 
summer arts education opportunities.
  Please join me in recognizing the Carr Center's numerous 
contributions to southeastern Michigan over the past three decades as 
we wish them well in the years to come. Carr Center is a true gem in 
the communities of Michigan's 13th District Strong.
