                     HONORING DR. MALCOLM WOODLAND

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2023

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the service and 
accomplishments of Dr. Malcolm Woodland, my fellow who is transitioning 
from my office to continue his mission.
  A Washington, D.C. native, Dr. Woodland came to my office ready to 
positively impact the African-American community. While in my office, 
he has pushed my civil rights agenda to great lengths--from 
coordinating events for the Caucus on the Commission on the Social 
Status of Black Men and Boys, to conducting research, to uniting people 
of color impacted by racial disadvantages.
  In our time together, I have recognized that Dr. Woodland is a force 
in civil rights policy. His passion has been powerful over the last 
year as we have fought for the lives of underserved and disadvantaged 
young men of color. His commitment to equality has led him to serve as 
the deputy director of juvenile probation in the District of Columbia, 
and he was also the chief psychologist of the Child Guidance Clinic at 
the Superior Court of the District of Columbia. In addition to his work 
in the government, Woodland is the founder and director of the Young 
Doctors Project, a nonprofit organization for boys and young men of 
color interested in careers in health and medicine.
  Dr. Woodland has and will continue to make a difference and leave his 
mark on education, health, and juvenile justice policy as he continues 
to fight for a better system.
  On behalf of Florida's 24th Congressional District, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in honoring Dr. Malcolm Woodland for his 
exemplary accomplishments, dedication to public service, and 
trailblazing leadership.
