                  HONORING THE LIFE OF TYRONE WINFREY

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of the life of Tyrone 
Winfrey, a beloved resident of Michigan's 13th District, a tireless 
advocate for students, and a fighter for higher education opportunities 
and so much more.
  Tyrone served as the executive director of community affairs for 
Detroit Public Schools Community District and was our former school 
board president. He worked tirelessly to advocate for our youth and to 
ensure that every student had access to quality education.
  Tyrone served our community over 35 years at the school district, and 
during this time, he inspired, supported, and uplifted so many of our 
students and families.
  Unfortunately, Mr. Winfrey lost his 5-year battle with cancer this 
month, but I am proud to stand here in honor of his life and his love 
for our community.
  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and our school community, 
as well as all those impacted by Tyrone Winfrey.
