                   VICTORY OVER VIOLENCE KARK/FOX 16

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 28, 2023

  Mr. HILL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to highlight the important 
partnership between the Arkansas Martin Luther King Commission and FOX 
16 and KARK television.
  In 2017, following the horrible shootings at the Power Ultra Lounge 
nightclub in Little Rock, FOX 16 and KARK kicked off an important 
initiative to build grassroots support to reduce violence in central 
Arkansas.
  They called it, ``Victory Over Violence''.
  The goal of the campaign is to unite leaders and groups throughout 
our local communities to be a resource for reducing violent crime and 
changing lives through community improvements.
  In January, the Arkansas Martin Luther King Commission presented FOX 
16 anchors Donna Terrell and Kevin Kelly with their 2023 Drum Major for 
Community Leadership award.
  The persistence and successful leadership of Donna, Kevin, and all 
those involved at the Arkansas Martin Luther King Commission, FOX 16, 
and KARK, they're making an impact on improving the lives and safety 
and central Arkansans.
  I'm grateful for their efforts, their persistent efforts, over all 
these past years to keep that at the forefront of community activism.
  Victory Over Violence is something that we need, and I'm grateful for 
their leadership.
