                         HONORING MONTY TRAINER

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, December 12, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians, to recognize Monty Trainer 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 the July 28, 1896, date of the city's incorporation.
  Much like Miami's original Bahamian signatories. Monty Trainer'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 Monty Trainer for his 
contributions to the community and his role in the historic designation 
of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
