                        HONORING REVEREND DR. M.L. CURRY

      (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
    minute.)
      Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of
    a true community leader in the west Dallas area, Reverend Dr. M.L.
    Curry.
      For 44 years, Dr. Curry preached the Word of God from west Dallas and
    beyond North America, always living by the words of his first sermon:
    ``Here I Am Lord, Send Me, I'll Go.''
      Throughout his years of service, he went out into our communities
    lifting up the lost, strengthening the faithful, and fighting for
    justice.
      Dr. Curry was a man of deep conviction. He was a true servant, an
    activist, and a champion for the west Dallas community. He was one of
    my first friends in the west Dallas area.
      He marched for the homeless and did everything he could to help make
    housing more secure for vulnerable families in Dallas. He was also the
    president of the West Dallas Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance
    for over 25 years, leading clergy in that area to help improve outcomes
    in the community.
      Today, we remember a man of deep faith, deep action, and someone who
    was a man of love.
      Dr. Curry has gone home to glory, but his legacy will live on
    forever. May he rest in peace.
