                    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 Cornelia ``Corky'' Dozier for her contribution 
to the City of Miami's designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut 
Grove on July 19, 2022.

[[Page E1126]]

  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, Cornelia ``Corky'' 
Dozier'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 Cornelia ``Corky'' Dozier 
for her contributions to the community and her role in the historic 
designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
