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.
