Friday, October 9, 2026
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor the Broward County Morehouse College Alumni Club on its 50th anniversary and to celebrate the generations of Morehouse men who have strengthened our community through leadership, service, fellowship, and a commitment to excellence.
small group of Morehouse brothers gathered at the Fort Lauderdale Elks Lodge. The meeting, called by Brother Leonard Gainey II, was an effort to establish a Morehouse College Alumni Club in Broward County and to build an organization that would serve its members and the broader community. Like many organizations that have endured for generations, the Broward County Morehouse College Alumni Club experienced its share of growing pains. Yet its founders remained committed to the vision of creating a lasting brotherhood dedicated to the ideals of Morehouse College.
remarkable succession of Morehouse alumni, including Norbert C. Williams, Benjamin F. Miller, Homer C. Arnold, Jr., Gordon Merritt, Arnold L. Williams, Herman Allen, William M. Nix, Travis Allen, Walton McDuffie, Robert Holmes, and Danny Holmes. Their leadership reflects the enduring Morehouse tradition of scholarship, service, and responsibility to community. As we commemorate this milestone, we recognize not only the organization's founders and past presidents, but also every brother who has contributed his time, talent, and service to keeping this legacy alive.
College Alumni Club on 50 years of brotherhood, leadership, service, and excellence, and recognize the countless Morehouse men whose contributions have helped strengthen Broward County and South Florida.
