                        HONORING SADIQA REYNOLDS

  (Mr. YARMUTH asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a leader in my 
community and a person I consider one of the most impactful individuals 
in the history of Louisville, Sadiqa Reynolds, in her final days as 
president and CEO of the Urban League of Louisville.
  It was only 7 years ago that Sadiqa was an esteemed judge, a role 
where she conducted herself with impartiality and kept her feelings and 
opinions to herself. My, how times change.
  As head of the Urban League, Sadiqa has held nothing back, leading 
with an open heart and open mind, speaking out for Louisville's 
marginalized communities with the passion and eloquence necessary to 
create positive, lasting change in people's lives.
  You cannot drive Louisville's streets without seeing Sadiqa's impact. 
Our West End has begun a much-awaited transformation in the last few 
years, anchored in large part by a new world-class track and field and 
education complex, which she conceived and spearheaded.
  Sadiqa, you have been the conscience of our community, leading the 
fight against injustice in historic times. We are a better city because 
of your leadership. We are grateful for your service and can't wait to 
see what you will achieve next.
