CELEBRATING WINNERS OF 2025 NEW JERSEY 10TH BLACK HISTORY MONTH ESSAY CONTEST

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 13 (Tuesday, January 20, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 13 (Tuesday, January 20, 2026)] [House] [Page H942] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1920 CELEBRATING WINNERS OF 2025 NEW JERSEY 10TH BLACK HISTORY MONTH ESSAY CONTEST (Mrs. McIVER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.) Mrs. McIVER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the 2025 New Jersey 10th Black History Month Essay Contest winners. I love this contest because it showcases the amazing talent found in the halls of our New Jersey-10 schools. Uplifting our prolific young writers is vital to empowering the next generation of New Jersey leaders. Last year, Emma Andre from Cranford High School, Mia Jones from University High School, Bruno Mendes from Science Park High School, Chris Tacuri from Science Park High School, and Demetrius Williams from East Orange STEM Academy High School were each recognized for their tributes to Black history trailblazers. This year, the contest continues in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Black History Month. Mr. Speaker, 100 years later, where do we go from here? I am challenging New Jersey-10 students to ponder this question and examine the current state of Black history, envisioning its future for generations to come. Submissions are due by February 23. ____________________
