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.
