  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor civil rights icon 
Ms. Ruby Hyde, or as many of us from Louisville call her, Ms. 
Smoketown, for her unwavering commitment to equality.
  Ruby has been a community activist for decades. As the founder of the 
Smoketown Heritage Festival, she has dedicated herself to honoring and 
uplifting Louisvillians from all walks of life. From her passion for 
equality to her volunteer work with Wayside Ministries, Ruby is a 
shining example of what it means to be a leader. I thank Ruby for 
everything she does for our community.
