                        Wednesday, July 22, 2026

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize The Sons of Allen 
Ministry's Second Annual 100 Men in Black Program at Saint Stephen 
African Methodist Episcopal Church in Miami Gardens, Florida. I include 
in the Record the following proclamation:

       Whereas, The Sons of Allen Ministry's 100 Men in Black 
     program is a ``rite'' of passage for young men to enter into 
     Christian maturity, develop as leaders and role models for 
     the youth;
       Whereas, The Sons of Allen Ministry's 100 Men in Black 
     program seeks to galvanize the latent power of men for the 
     worship of God and service to God's people, equipping them 
     through the vital, vibrant, spiritual and social message of 
     God and the African Methodist Episcopal Church;
       Whereas, The Sons of Allen Ministry, the official Men's 
     Ministry of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, fosters 
     an atmosphere where men are inspired through worship, study 
     and prayer to have fellowship and a relationship with God and 
     their fellowman;
       Whereas, The Sons of Allen Ministry builds men as 
     providers, protectors, producers and priests for their 
     families and the community of the faithful;
       Whereas, The Sons of Allen Ministry has programs that 
     enhance men in their abilities to serve God and God's people 
     through social outreach, Godly civic leadership and vital 
     Christian testimony; and
       Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson, 
     a Member of the United States House of Representatives, 
     representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida, 
     recognize The Sons of Allen Ministry's 100 Men in Black 
     program at Saint Stephen African Methodist Episcopal Church 
     for its commitment to serving God, for its dedication to 
     being a positive influence in the lives of young men and for 
     its service to our community.
