                        HONORING DWIGHT BULLARD

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 13, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians, to recognize Senator Dwight Bullard for his contribution to 
the City of Miami's designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove 
on July 19, 2020.
  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, Senator Dwight 
Bullard'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 Dwight Bullard for his 
contributions to the community and his role in the historic designation 
of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
