  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the life of Mr. 
Kerven W. Carter Jr., a cherished Stop Six educator and beloved member 
of the Fort Worth community, who was laid to rest on October 25, 2016.
  Kerven Wyncelar Carter was born on October 15, 1922 in Wortham, 
Texas. His family eventually relocated to Fort Worth, Texas where he 
ultimately graduated from the historic I.M. Terrell High School. 
Following his high school graduation, Mr. Carter earned a bachelor's 
degree from Wiley College and continued his education at the University 
of Denver, University of Southern California and University of Wyoming.
  In addition to demonstrating a commitment to furthering his own 
education, Mr. Carter was a distinguished educator in his own right. He 
served as a professor at Wiley College and worked in various capacities 
at the Fort Worth Independent School District. Mr. Carter ended his 
career in education working in administration and teacher appraisal 
work and was later recognized for his commitment to education when he 
was selected as an honoree by Tarrant County Community College during 
the dedication of its Opportunity Center Resource.

  Mr. Carter was also dedicated to serving his community outside of the 
classroom. He served as Deacon and Chairman of Finance and 
Superintendent in the Youth Sunday School at his church. Additionally, 
he was a proud member of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc. for more than 
75 years and co-founded the Texas Council of Alpha chapters. He was a 
president of the Texan Christian University chapter of Phi Delta Kappa 
International Education Fraternity, co-founder of the Texas State 
Teacher's Association, and a Master Prince Hall Mason, where he served 
as Grand Treasurer and Grand Worshipful Master
