                       HONORING WENDALL K. JONES

                                 ______
                                 

                        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 Ambassador Wendall K. Jones 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, date of the city's incorporation. Much 
like Miami's original Bahamian signatories, Ambassador Wendall K. 
Jones' 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 Ambassador Wendall K. Jones 
for his contributions to the community and his role in the historic 
designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
