Congresswoman Barbara Rose-Collins, Michigan's first African-American 
Congresswoman. She was a trailblazer who inspired many women to seek 
public office.
  Congresswoman Rose-Collins got her start in public service as a 
member of the Detroit public school board. She served as a Michigan 
State legislator and a Detroit City Council member before being elected 
to the United States Congress in 1990.
  During her tenure in the U.S. Congress, Congresswoman Rose-Collins 
advocated for food and agriculture policies to assist communities with 
food insecurity.
  She was a fierce defender of human rights in Detroit, across the 
country, and abroad. She dedicated her career to making our community 
stronger and our country better.
  Please join me in recognition of Congresswoman Barbara Rose-Collins' 
many years of dedicated public service as we honor her memory.
