                          BLACK HISTORY MONTH

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, in celebration of Black History Month, I rise 
today to recognize extraordinary Black luminaries from central Florida 
for their work and impact on the community that I proudly represent.
  Through tireless advocacy, they have strengthened our neighborhoods, 
expanded opportunity for those too often left behind, and improved the 
lives of countless families across Orlando: Admiral David Brewer, Alvin 
J. Cowans, Jennifer Desir Hilaire, Chet Glover,

Florida Supreme Court Justice James Perry, Anne Piervil, Lisa Williams, 
the late great State Senator Geraldine Thompson, and the late 
Eatonville Mayor Eddie Cole.
  Today and always, we celebrate their achievements and continue to 
honor Black excellence, not just Black history, but also the history we 
are continuing to create.
