                        HONORING DOROTHY WALLACE

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 10, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians, to recognize Dorothy Wallace for her 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, date of the city's 
incorporation.
  Much like Miami's original Bahamian signatories, Dorothy Wallace's 
commitment to preserving the rich Bahamian culture and history of Miami 
has helped to ensure the designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut 
Grove.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Dorothy Wallace for her 
contributions to the community and her role in the historic designation 
of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
