  Ms. NORTON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
recipients of this year's Right Direction Awards.
  The Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia 
established the Right Direction Awards in 2015 in an effort to uplift 
and celebrate D.C. youth. Since then, over 150 inspirational young 
people in D.C. have received this award.
  The Right Direction Awards honor D.C. youth who demonstrate tenacity 
and resilience in the face of significant challenges, including 
experiencing isolation, homelessness, loss of loved ones and 
acclimating to a new country.
  Congratulations to this year's recipients: Darrell Anderson, Dineia 
Jones, Kaitlyn Arbertha, Dieudonne Kazzembe, Mylan Barnes, Maleek 
Loggins, Eric Curry, III, Jymeen McGrier, Robert Edwards, Osman Milla, 
Arno Fonkoue, Daja Mitchell, Isabella Getahun, Ariyah Nash, Antwon 
Gibson, Ashanti Paylor, Shaniya Gibson, Derren Richardson, Christy 
Hill, Eric Wade, Jr, Dellvon Hughes and Jamarri Kane-White.
  Madam Speaker, I ask the House of Representatives to join me in 
honoring this year's recipients of the Right Direction Awards for 
persevering through major life challenges to have a positive effect on 
their community.
