JIM COSTA of california in the house of representatives Wednesday, May 7, 2008 Mr. COSTA. Madam Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Morehouse College Glee Club, as they visit Saints Rest Missionary Baptist Church in Fresno, California. Established in 1945 by the late Rev. A.W. White, and currently led by Pastor Shane B. Scott, the Saints Rest Missionary Baptist Church is an esteemed member of the local religious community. Their hosting the Morehouse College Glee Club is certainly an exciting occasion worthy of special recognition. The Morehouse College Glee Club boasts a 90-year tradition of excellence in musical achievements. Then current director, Dr. David Murrow has been a member of the music faculty at Morehouse College since 1981. In 1994, the glee club performed the National Anthem with Natalie Cole for Super Bowl XXVIII in Atlanta, Georgia. They also participated with Stevie Wonder, Gloria Estefan and Trisha Yearwood in the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games held in Atlanta. Furthermore, the glee club has toured cities in Russia as well as Poland. Along with international tours and local concerts, the glee club presents an annual spring tour which averages 10 to 15 cities in 2 to 3 weeks. The history of this institution demonstrates that it is only by embracing the importance of cooperation and vision that great success can be achieved. I am honored to congratulate Morehouse College Glee Club as they visit Fresno, California. ____________________
