                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 28, 2006

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a woman who 
can only be described as truly American, Earline Miles.
  Ms. Miles began her academic career by attending I.M. Terrell High 
School. From here, she graduated from Huston-Tillotson College in 
Austin, Texas then obtained her law degree from the Thurgood Marshall 
School of Law in Houston, Texas. Ms. Miles then turned her sights to 
education by becoming an instructor at Tarrant County College teaching 
business law.
  Ms. Miles was involved in the civil rights movement in which she was 
a strong advocate of equality for all people. During her employment in 
Fort Worth, Texas, she was a determined worker for minority hiring 
initiatives. It was through Ms. Miles' hard work that countless 
disadvantaged people were able to now find employment.
  Ms. Miles' community has benefited a great deal through her 
involvement in many organizations. She has done extensive volunteer 
work through her community. Even though Ms. Miles is now retired, she 
still dutifully works for her community by collecting food, clothing, 
and essential supplies for the homeless.
  Today, we honor Earline Miles for her commitment to education and her 
dedication to helping others. She will always be remembered for her 
kindness and generosity to others, and may she serve as a role model 
for others in the future.
