                      REMEMBERING LULAMAE CLEMONS

  (Mr. TAKANO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TAKANO. Madam Speaker, I rise today to remember Lulamae Clemons, 
a champion for social justice and a longtime Riverside community 
activist.
  I knew Lulamae in the 1980s when I was getting involved in the 
Greater Riverside Urban League. To this day, I remember her graceful 
yet determined presence and her efforts to advance racial equality in 
our community.
  Lulamae was a true pioneer. She devoted herself to her community and 
was persistent in her fight for quality education and fairer housing.
  As the first Black administrator hired by the Riverside Office of 
Education and vice president of the Fair Housing Council of Riverside 
County, Lulamae empowered minorities and broke barriers.
  Lulamae understood the preciousness of civil rights, equality, and 
opportunity for all.
  To the family of Lulamae Clemons and all those who knew, loved, and 
respected her, I offer my deepest condolences. Her legacy will continue 
to live on.
