                         Monday, April 15, 2013

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the National 
Churchill Museum in Fulton, MO for its recent award from the Missouri 
Humanities Council honoring its ``The Kingdom at Work'' exhibit. As 
part of the ``The Way We Worked'' program instituted by the Missouri 
Humanities Council, this effort provided an excellent opportunity to 
display the cultural history of the area and also demonstrated the 
power of collaboration in our local community.
  ``The Kingdom at Work'' exhibit focused on sharing the stories of how 
work became a central element of American culture and the many 
challenges and innovations affecting the workforce and work 
environment. Concentrating on several broad categories, the exhibit 
shared the unique stories of work from different walks of life in 
Callaway County over the past century.
  In addition to the National Churchill Museum, I would like to extend 
special recognition to the local groups and organizations that 
cooperated to make the exhibit possible, including: the City of Fulton, 
the Callaway County Chamber of Commerce, the Kingdom of Callaway 
Historical Society, the Fulton Area Development Corporation, 
Westminster College and student organization, the University of 
Missouri Extension Program--Labor Education Program, Sunrise Sign 
Company and local trade unions.
  The final exhibit is an outstanding example of how one community's 
commitment to collaboration and learning can bring the humanities to 
life and make our cultural history accessible to current generations. 
The exhibit and activities surrounding its debut not only highlighted 
the past but also gave Callaway County the opportunity to explore the 
future.
  In closing, I ask all my colleagues to join me in honoring the 
National Churchill Museum's ``The Kingdom at Work'' exhibit and its 
contribution to the humanities.
