                RECOGNIZING MINISTER FREDERICK MITCHELL

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FREDERICA S. WILSON

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 7, 2022

  Ms. WILSON of Florida. Madam Speaker, I rise today as a descendant of 
Bahamians to recognize Minister Frederick Mitchell for his contribution 
to the City of Miami's designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut 
Grove on July 19, 2022.
  Since the 19th century, Bahamians played an integral role in the 
founding of the City of Miami, representing one-third of the registered 
signatories on July 28, 1896, the date of the city's incorporation.
  Much like Miami's original Bahamian signatories, Minister Frederick 
Mitchell's commitment to preserving Miami's rich Bahamian culture and 
history has helped to ensure the designation of the Little Bahamas of 
Coconut Grove.
  Madam Speaker, please join me in honoring Minister Frederick Mitchell 
for his contributions to the community and his role in the historic 
designation of the Little Bahamas of Coconut Grove.
