                  IN RECOGNITION OF EVA HAMLIN MILLER

  (Ms. ADAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ADAMS. Madam Speaker, I rise today during Black History Month to 
recognize my mentor and friend, fellow artist and teacher, the late Eva 
Hamlin Miller.
  Eva Miller dedicated her life to her art and her students, 
encouraging us to pursue our artistic goals. From the 1930s Harlem 
street scenes to stained glass windows in North Carolina, Mrs. Miller's 
artistic talents, range, and precision were phenomenal.
  She was a pioneering voice for African American art, curating one of 
the first regional shows of African American art in the North Carolina 
Museum of Art in Raleigh and founding the African American Atelier with 
me 25 years ago, an art gallery focusing on African American art and 
artists located in Greensboro, North Carolina.
  Eva Miller possessed an unwavering dedication to students, as a 
teacher at Tuskegee Institute, Bennett College, Winston-Salem State 
University, and North Carolina A&T.
  Her legacy continues to live on, not only through her work but 
through the many students she taught and inspired.
