                       A TRIBUTE TO CARL LUCIANO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, November 17, 2011

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Carl Luciano, a 
Brooklynite who has offered decades of service to my community through 
education and social welfare programs.
  Mr. Luciano is a lifelong Brooklynite, educated in the New York 
Public school system. It was the streets of Brooklyn that gave Mr. 
Luciano the passion for the work that he currently does. He is 
presently working with Councilmember Darlene Mealy and has had the 
fortunes of working with many other officials in the Brooklyn 
community.
  The Lord has allowed Mr. Luciano to work under three other elected 
officials. The blessing in working with all of these elected officials 
is that they all share the same passion as Mr. Luciano towards 
education and empowerment of the community of Bedford Stuyvesant. 
Through education, a youth can change their personal lives and the 
lives of others living in their community. It is Mr. Luciano's way of 
paying it forward--the service he offers Brooklyn constituents.
  Mr. Luciano has resided in Bedford Stuyvesant for over forty years. 
He has witnessed the good and bad of his community. In his spare time 
he devotes attention to youth intervention, willing to communicate with 
anyone interested in learning the power of community through unity. He 
has planted this seed in various platforms for the past eleven years. 
Mr. Luciano's strength comes from his spiritual grounding and guidance 
through his relationship with Christ Jesus.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize Carl Luciano for his 
accomplishments in Brooklyn.
