          RECOGNIZING CHARLOTTE CITY COUNCILMAN MALACHI GREENE

  (Ms. ADAMS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. ADAMS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with a heavy heart to recognize 
former Charlotte City Councilman Malachi Greene, who departed this life 
on February 25.
  Although he was born in South Carolina, North Carolina was indeed his 
home. A graduate of Livingstone College, an HBCU in Salisbury, North 
Carolina, Malachi was a businessman, a teacher, public servant, and 
overall model citizen.
  I had known Malachi for many decades and had the pleasure of working 
with him on numerous occasions. I admired his steadfast dedication to 
improving the lives of others throughout his work at Bennett College 
and in the community.
  In later years, Malachi served two terms on the Charlotte City 
Council.

Throughout his political endeavors, he maintained the ability to appeal 
to diverse audiences and work with both parties to ensure that good 
policies rose above politics.
  Malachi Greene put his all into public service and was a voice for 
the voiceless. He truly loved his community and his people, and we 
loved him. North Carolinians across our State will remember his life 
and his legacy for years to come and are grateful for his service.
