            RECOGNIZING MOTHER HATTIE WHITE'S 100TH BIRTHDAY

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Mother Hattie 
White, a longtime resident of Southwest Detroit, in Michigan 13 
District Strong, on the occasion of her 100th birthday.
  Mother Hattie White was born on February 23, 1922, in Alabama and 
later moved to River Rouge, Michigan. She married the love of her life, 
Albert James White, in 1946. They were married for 52 years and raised 
their seven children in River Rouge and Southwest Detroit neighborhoods 
with love and instilling an ethic of responsibility and kindness toward 
others.
  In 1967, Mother White and her husband started a community church, 
Love Joy Missionary Baptist Church, in River Rouge, which cemented her 
role as a matriarch of our community.
  Mother White shines bright in the community and has brought so much 
joy to her family, friends, and neighbors.
  Please join me in wishing her a happy 100th birthday.
