        GRAND OPENING OF THE CINCINNATI BLACK MUSIC WALK OF FAME

  (Mr. LANDSMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LANDSMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the historic 
grand opening of the Cincinnati Black Music Walk of Fame.
  Thanks to the work of Hamilton County Commission President, Alicia 
Reece, the Black Music Walk of Fame is a one-of-a-kind interactive 
tourism attraction that will celebrate the untold stories and legacies 
of artists from southwest Ohio, attracting families from across the 
region, country, and globe.
  Cincinnati is home to many transformational Black artists, from Otis 
Williams to Bootsy Collins to Penny Ford. Thanks to the dedication and 
tireless efforts of President Reece, these artists will forever be 
honored on the banks of the Ohio River for all to see.
  The Black Music Walk of Fame will inspire future generations of 
artists as well as drive tourism and growth. It is my honor to 
represent such talent and passion.
  Madam Speaker, I congratulate President Reece and all of those who 
have worked so hard to transform this vision of the Black Music Walk of 
Fame into reality.
