                   IN RECOGNITION OF THE CARR CENTER

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the Carr Center 
in Detroit, Michigan, as they celebrate 30 years of preserving, 
presenting, promoting, and developing African and African-American 
cultural arts traditions 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 by 
offering a wide array of programming.
  Building upon its initial creative placemaking, the Carr Center has 
become a destination and hub for the performing arts in the city of 
Detroit.
  The Carr Center has implemented three pillars of programming: Carr 
Center Presents, Carr Center Contemporary focus on performing and 
visual arts, while the Carr Center Arts Academy offers in-school and 
intensive summer arts education opportunities.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to please join me in recognizing 
the Carr Center's many contributions to southeastern Michigan over the 
past three decades as we wish them well in the years to come. They are 
a true gem of Michigan's 13th District.
