                      Thursday, November 10, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians, to recognize Apostle John Chambers 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, Apostle John 
Chambers' 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 Apostle John Chambers for 
his contributions to the community and his role in the historic 
designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
