                      HER NAME WAS BREONNA TAYLOR

  (Mr. McGARVEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McGARVEY. Mr. Speaker, 5 years ago, a young Louisville woman was 
killed in the middle of the night by police officers who forced entry 
into her home without warning.
  Her name was Breonna Taylor.
  While we will never forget how Breonna Taylor died, we get to choose 
to remember how she lived. Breonna was a sister, a daughter, and a 
girlfriend.
  Breonna was a caregiver, working at Louisville's emergency room to 
save lives. Breonna was a 26-year-old with her whole life in front of 
her. She had dreams, including of becoming a mom someday.
  Breonna loved her family, her community, and more than anything, she 
loved life.
  In the face of injustice, we cannot be silent. We must speak up. We 
must say her name: Breonna Taylor.
