                 RECOGNIZING THE HONORABLE EVA CLAYTON

  (Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Madam Speaker, in eastern North 
Carolina, the spirit of strong, resilient women flows through the 
fabric of our communities.
  From Vance County to Pasquotank County, Northampton County to Greene 
County, and everywhere in between, women have played essential roles in 
shaping our history.
  However, we cannot talk about women and history in eastern North 
Carolina without recognizing the Honorable Eva Clayton. Ms. Clayton was 
the first African-American Congresswoman from North Carolina.
  During Women's History Month, we celebrate all the women of eastern 
North Carolina and beyond. Let us honor their many contributions, 
recognize their strength, and support their endeavors.
  Together, we can ensure that their voices are heard, their rights are 
protected, and their legacy continues to inspire generations to come.
