                     HONORING FRANKLIN DOUGLAS MOSS

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor the life and legacy 
of my good friend and former Fort Worth City Councilmember, Franklin 
Douglas Moss, better known as Frank Moss.
  Frank Moss was an incredible man. He worked in real estate and had 
his own real estate firm, Moss RED Group. He was so well known 
throughout the community for the work that he did in the Stop Six area 
and the Carver Heights community in which he lived. He was just an 
incredible believer in the community, helping on maternal health 
issues, HIV awareness, and preserving historic neighborhoods.
  He was an incredible person, and the family had just such a long and 
distinguished legacy of service to the community, as his wife was one 
of our former school board members. However, most of all, Frank Moss 
was the keeper of the Black history in Fort Worth, Texas. He knew about 
the first African-American politicians, doctors, lawyers, dentists, 
people who really helped change and shape Fort Worth for all. He did 
such a tremendous job in sharing those stories.
  I know that he is going to be missed as a deacon at Ebenezer 
Missionary Baptist Church in Fort Worth, where he was a proud member. 
We will all miss Frank not just because of his work on the council, but 
because he really cared about making sure that stories in our community 
were elevated in Fort Worth and Tarrant County. That is something that 
we will all truly miss.
  My prayers go out to his family during this time.
