                        HONORING GREGORY SIMPSON

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 7, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians to recognize Gregory Simpson for his contribution to the City 
of Miami's designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove on July 
19 2022.
  Since the 19th century, Bahamians played an integral role in the 
founding of the City of Miami, representing one-third of the registered 
signatories on July 28, 1896, the date of the city's incorporation.
  Much like Miami's original Bahamian signatories, Gregory Simpson's 
commitment to preserving Miami's rich Bahamian culture and history has 
helped to ensure the designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut 
Grove.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Gregory Simpson for his 
contributions to the community and his role in the historic designation 
of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
