          HONORING IMPACTFUL BLACK LEADERS IN CENTRAL FLORIDA

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Madam Speaker, I rise today as Black History Month has 
come to a close in order to honor some of the most impactful Black 
leaders Central Florida has ever seen.
  They blaze trails in my home State, making history by being the first 
Black Floridians to graduate from local schools, to serve on local city 
councils, run for city commissioner posts, and pass constitutional 
amendments.
  Camille Evans, Sonya Hill, Dr. LaVon Bracy, Dr. Reverend Randolph 
Bracy, Commissioner Mable Butler, Dr. Alzo Reddick, Byron Brooks, Dr. 
Bridget Williams, Chester Glover, Denise Diaz, Representative Kamia 
Brown, and Barbara Chandler.
  Each one of them has dedicated their lives to service in one way, 
shape, or form. Because of that, our State, community, and Nation are a 
better place.
  Today and always, we celebrate their achievements and continue to 
honor Black excellence.
