             CELEBRATING BLACK VOICE NEWS' 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. AGUILAR asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. AGUILAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 50th 
anniversary of the Black Voice News, which has reported on seeking 
justice in the Inland Empire through their reporting for decades.
  For the last 50 years, the Black Voice News has addressed issues such 
as disparities in healthcare, wealth, and education. This dedicated 
team of talented journalists has chronicled some of the most important 
stories impacting Black lives in my community and given a voice to our 
residents.
  They have lifted up the stories of middle-class families doing their 
best, through joys and sorrows, to carve out a better life for 
themselves and their families.
  The Inland Empire residents deserve to have access to local news, and 
Black Voice News provides that.
  I am so proud of everything this publication has accomplished over 
the last 50 years, and I am excited to see what is to come in the next 
50.
