  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the 
great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize and honor the late 
Mrs. Gussie Mae Hall of Miami, Florida, an exceptional woman who has 
left an enduring legacy of humbleness, kindness, and strength. I 
include in the Record the following proclamation:

       Whereas, Mrs. Hall was a tireless supporter of local 
     African-American elected officials and actively engaged in 
     the democratic process by educating members of the community 
     on the importance of the right to vote and encouraging their 
     registration and participation; and
       Whereas, Mrs. Hall was a lifelong resident of South Florida 
     who was born in Homestead, Florida, formally educated in the 
     Miami-Dade County Public School system, and worked through 
     her church, He Reigns Interdenominational Ministries, 
     Incorporated, to improve our community; and
       Whereas, Mrs. Hall was an outstanding citizen, wife, 
     mother, and friend; 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, 
     commend the late Mrs. Gussie Mae Hall for her years of loving 
     and faithful service to her family, her church, and our 
     community.
