in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today, to commend and honor Dr. Edward J. Braynon, Jr., a dedicated community-servant, civil rights activist, role model, and mentor, and I include in the Record the following proclamation in his honor:
Whereas, Dr. Braynon has been a loyal and faithful member
of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. for sixty-eight years and
has served as Basileus of Sigma Alpha Chapter, Florida's
State Representative, First Vice Seventh Representative
(Alabama, Florida, Georgia and Mississippi), Seventh District
Representative, First Vice Grand Basileus, and Grand
Basileus;
Whereas, Dr, Braynon's leadership, vision and integrity
have played a vital role in building, binding and
strengthening Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and Sigma Alpha
Chapter. He is credited with remaining steadfast to enhancing
and promoting the organization's principles of Manhood,
Scholarship, Perseverance and Uplift;
Whereas, Dr. Braynon as Grand Basileus of Sigma Alpha
Chapter played a key role in a massive “Get Out The Vote,”
initiative where Omega chapters around the country were
actively involved and helped win Jimmy Carter the presidency
with the largest black vote in history and landed Dr. Braynon
an invitation along with several other Black leaders to a
“White House Luncheon”;
Whereas, Dr. Braynon touched and impacted the lives of
countless young men as a mentor with the 5000 Role Models of
Excellence Project and won the admiration and respect of our
community for his activism and community service;
Whereas, Dr. Braynon used his dental skills to meet the
needs of our community, served as a member of the Dental
Society providing leadership and guidance to new generations
of dental professionals, and was a member of numerous civic
and community organizations dedicated to the betterment of
the quality of life for South Floridians; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 24th Congressional District of Florida am
proud to recognize and honor Dr. Edward J. Braynon, Jr. for
his unwavering commitment to Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.,
community service, our youth, and his profession.
