  Ms. KAMLAGER-DOVE. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the life of 
Anthony Lowe, Jr., a doting father, uncle, brother, son, and friend, 
who was tragically killed earlier this year at the hands of the 
Huntington Park Police. Today, I stand here to honor Mr. Lowe's life 
and the joy he brought to his loved ones and to the South Los Angeles 
community.
  The center of Mr. Lowe's life was family. He was a loving, caring 
father to his children and never hesitated to crack a joke to cheer 
them up. Mr. Lowe was committed to keeping his family strong. Whether 
he was helping his nieces and nephews with their schoolwork or taking 
his children to the park, Mr. Lowe was always there to support his 
family and friends. He spread his infectious joy easily, always 
laughing, dancing, and bringing positive energy to those around him.
  Mr. Lowe was close with his mother and sisters. He looked out for 
others and jumped at the chance to helped loved ones. His laughter and 
kindness are what I hope he will be remembered by.
  We should be celebrating Mr. Lowe's sincere love for his family and 
friends and his devotion to his children. Instead, we must confront the 
tragedy of his death at the hands of our police.
  Mr. Speaker, I am saddened to recognize the life of Anthony Lowe 
ended under these circumstances. Today, I rise to honor the memory of 
Mr. Lowe and to reaffirm my commitment to working to eliminate police 
brutality and injustice.
