HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON
of florida
in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from the 24th District of the great state of Florida, I rise today to recognize the grand reopening of the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives in North Miami, Florida and include in the Record a proclamation on commending the efforts of Haitian American Historical Society (HAHS):
Whereas, the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives—
through artifact, paintings, photography and performances—
tells the story of Haiti's history and rich culture;
Whereas, the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives
documents and showcases the contributions of Haitians and
Haitian descendants to South Florida, the United States and
other parts of the world;
Whereas, the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives serve
to educate future generations of Haitian Americans about
their heritage and build a connection to Haiti;
Whereas, the Haitian Historical Museum and Archives serve
to foster understanding, tolerance and cooperation between
South Florida's diverse communities; and
Now, therefore, be it resolved that I, Frederica S. Wilson,
a member of the United States House of Representatives,
representing the 25th Congressional District of Florida,
commend the Haitian American Historical Society for
preserving Haitian history and fostering a resurgence of
interest in Haitian culture among South Floridians.
