  Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of 90s R&B Vocal icons 
Boyz II Men, who will be performing at the Historic Madam Walker Legacy 
Theater in Indianapolis and inducted into the Madam Walker Legacy 
Center's Walk of Fame.
  Boyz II Men was founded in 1988 as a quintet but rose to fame as a 
quartet and then an iconic trio. The group grew into the spotlight in 
the 90s with hits like ``Motownphilly,'' ``A Song for Mama,'' and the 
fan favorite, ``I'll Make Love to You.''
  Boyz II Men has been captivating audiences worldwide for over three 
decades. With the voices of Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn 
Stockman, the group is one of the most successful groups in music 
history, with over 60 million albums sold. Their career and impact on 
our culture has been nothing short of extraordinary.
  Indianapolis is thrilled to have Boyz II Men join us at the Legacy 
Fest, an event benefiting the Madam Walker Legacy Center. This 
signature fundraiser provides support for the organization's year-round 
STEAM, entrepreneurship, women's equity, social justice, and arts 
programming.
  Today, we celebrate Boyz II Men for their long-lasting career and 
enduring talent. Thirty years later, their impact is just as strong, 
with fans across generations and continents. I am honored to help 
recognize Boyz II Men and cement their legacy into the Madam Walker 
Legacy Center Walk of Fame.
