                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 27, 2023

  Mr. SWALWELL. Mr Speaker, I rise with my colleagues Speaker Emerita 
Nancy Pelosi and Representatives Kevin Mullin, Anna Eshoo, Mark 
DeSaulnier, Barbara Lee, Ro Khanna, and Jimmy Panetta to recognize 
KRON4 evening news anchor, Pam Moore, on her retirement on June 29, 
2023, after 32 years of keeping our community up-to-date and informed 
on local news and events.
  Born and raised in Detroit, Pam earned a Bachelor of Arts in Radio, 
Television, and Film from the University of Michigan. Following 
graduation, she began her career as a news reporter in Detroit at WJLB 
Radio, eventually working around the country, including at KCBS-TV in 
Los Angeles and WBZ-TV in Boston.
  In March of 1991, Pam began her career in the Bay Area with KRON as 
the KRON4 Evening News anchor and general assignment reporter. 
Throughout her tenure, Pam reported and anchored on all of KRON's 
platforms and interviewed numerous notable figures. such as: then-
Senator Kamala Harris and the late Congressman John Lewis.
  In 1997, Pam received nominations for two Northern California Emmy 
Awards for her projects on medical reporting, namely, ``Diets Don't 
Work'' and ``The Brain.'' In 1997, KRON4's five-part series ``About 
Race,'' earned Pam the George Foster Peabody Award, the Pew Center 
Batten Prize for Civic Journalism, and Best Documentary Award from the 
California Associated Press Television Radio Association, among others. 
Pam's work on the ten-part series ``Who Owns Your Health'' in 2000, 
also received a Northern California Emmy Award.
  A decorated journalist, Pam was inducted into the National Academy of 
Television Arts & Sciences Silver Circle. She was also honored for her 
commitment to journalism by the Bay Area Black Journalists Association 
in 2009.
  Beyond her profession, Pam continually gave back to the community. 
She was active in numerous organizations, such as Women in Science, 
Girls lnc., Bay Area Black Journalists, and Performing Stars in Marin 
County. She was awarded the Vanguard Supporter Award for her work with 
the East Oakland Youth Development Center. Pam's commitment to her 
community was also recognized when she was made the inaugural recipient 
of the San Francisco NAACP Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Civil Rights Award 
in 1998.
  For over 32 years, Pam has remained steadfast in her commitment to 
journalistic integrity and supporting her community. Her absence on the 
KRON4 Evening News will not go unnoticed, but we will be lucky to still 
engage with her work at KRON as a special contributor. We wish her 
well-deserved rest and relaxation with her son, Anthony, as she enters 
this new chapter of her life.
