in the house of representatives
Ms. WILSON of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a proclamation to honor Eufaula Frazier on this special occasion of her 100th birthday:
Whereas, Eufaula Frazier has been a steadfast advocate and
activist for human rights, dedicating more than 60 years of
her life to the fight for equality and justice in Miami-Dade
County, standing strong against disparities that unfairly
affected the Black community; and
Whereas, born in Dodge County, Georgia, into a family of 11
children, Frazier's early years were spent on one of the few
Black-owned farms in the area, teaching her the importance of
resilience and determination. She later moved to Miami in
1950, where she raised four children and opened a successful
beauty shop called the Little Nook; and
Whereas, witnessing injustices in her Liberty City
neighborhood, Ms. Frazier acted by founding the Tenants
Education Association of Miami, advocating for tenants'
rights, and playing a pivotal role in passing a state law to
protect those rights, helping countless families in the
process; and
Whereas, Ms. Frazier's activism extended far beyond housing
rights. She taught school, registered voters, and advocated
for HIV testing. She stood firm in the face of civil unrest,
such as the Liberty City riots of 1980, when she walked the
streets trying to calm the community, and continued her work
to uplift others even in challenging circumstances; and
Whereas, she earned a degree in social work from Florida
International University at the age of 53, showing her
lifelong commitment to education and social justice, and she
continued to give back to her community by opening Michelle's
grocery store, the only store left standing on her block
after the Liberty City riots; and
Whereas, Ms. Frazier has been an active participant in
national political movements, attending every Democratic
National Convention since 1972. In 2008, at the age of 83,
she witnessed Barack Obama's historic nomination as the first
Black presidential candidate, a moment that stood on the
shoulders of her own decades-long fight for civil rights; and
Whereas, her contributions to the civil rights movement,
her dedication to tenants' rights, and her unyielding spirit
in the face of injustice have made a profound impact on her
community and beyond. Ms. Frazier's legacy includes not only
her activism but also the countless individuals she has
mentored, whose lives stretch from Miami-Dade to across the
nation; and
Whereas, Ms. Frazier's family, including her daughter
Michelle, and her three sons, Maurice Coes, Norland Frazier,
and Edwin Frazier, continue to honor her legacy of service
and commitment to justice, embodying the values she has
instilled in them throughout their lives; and
Whereas, at the age of 100, Eufaula Frazier continues to
inspire those around her, and her unwavering dedication to
justice, equality, and community service stands as a beacon
of hope for generations to come; 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, do
hereby recognize and celebrate we honor and celebrate Eufaula
Frazier, on this special occasion of her 100th birthday, for
her lifelong dedication to fighting for justice, equality,
and human rights. Her enduring legacy is a testament to the
power of activism and the impact one person can have on the
world.
