                   CELEBRATING WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, it is with great admiration that I rise to 
celebrate Women's History Month and its 2023 theme: Celebrating Women 
Who Tell Our Stories.
  This year, I recognize a woman who tells the stories of Gary, 
Indiana: Ms. Dorothy Leavell, the editor and publisher of the Gary 
Crusader for more than 50 years.
  Throughout her career, Dorothy remained grounded in her purpose to 
serve as an advocate for the African-American community. Under her 
leadership, the Crusader Newspaper Group became a voting member of the 
National Newspaper Publisher's Association, a federation of the African 
American-owned newspapers in our Nation.
  Madam Speaker, as we celebrate Women's History Month, please join me 
in recognizing the dedication, perseverance, and contributions that Ms. 
Dorothy Leavell and so many other extraordinary women have made to 
improve our communities through the stories they tell.
