                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, December 20, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Senator 
Shevrin Jones for his stellar and philanthropic contributions to the 
5000 Role Models of Excellence Project.
  Frederick Douglass once said, ``it is easier to build strong children 
than to repair broken men.'' I thank Shevrin Jones so much for 
believing in our mission of interrupting the school to prison pipeline 
and to guiding our young boys along a cheerfully charted path and 
sending them to college. He is investing in the children of our 
community, and they will be the benefactors of his investment for 
generations to come. He will always be a part of us, and we will always 
be a part of him. I thank him for all that he does on behalf of our 
children.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Senator Shevrin Jones, a 
2023 Role Model Wall Man with a generous philanthropic spirit and I ask 
my colleagues from the 117th Congress to join me in honoring this 
special circle of brotherhood.

                          ____________________
