Madam Speaker, I rise to honor the extraordinary life and legacy of foot soldier, freedom fighter, and civil rights icon Ms. Joanne Bland, who passed away on February 19, 2026, at the age of 72.\u003Cbr>As a proud daughter of Selma, Alabama, Joanne dedicated her life to the struggle for civil rights and voting rights. As an active member of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Com- | of Representatives |  |\n|  | mittee, she joined the movement at a remarkably young age. At just 11 years old, she was one of the youngest participants in the 1965 march from Selma to Montgomery.\u003Cbr>Joanne’s courage did not end on the Edmund Pettus Bridge. By her early teens, Joanne had been arrested at least 13 times for her participation in civil rights demonstrations. She was also among the courageous students who integrated A.G. Parrish High School, where she opened doors of opportunity for countless children to follow in her footsteps.\u003Cbr>As an adult, Joanne worked to educate others on Selma’s role in the civil rights movement, ensuring that her legacy would continue to inspire future generations.\u003Cbr>Joanne founded numerous organizations, including Foot Soldiers Park, Journeys for the Soul, and the National Voting Rights Museum and Institute. Her tours of Selma, Alabama, were celebrated for being both informative and inspiring.\u003Cbr>On a personal note, I am forever grateful for the sacrifices made by Joanne Bland in the name of equality and justice. I know that I get to walk the Halls of Congress as Alabama’s first Black Congresswoman because of her courage, resilience, and determination.\u003Cbr>I am honored to have brought her as my special guest to President Biden’s 2024 State of the Union Address, and I will miss her wisdom and friendship.\u003Cbr>On behalf of Alabama’s Seventh Congressional District, I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring the extraordinary life and legacy of a civil rights icon, Selma’s own Ms. Joanne Bland. May she rest in power and in peace.\u003Cbr>f\u003Cbr>RECOGNIZING CAREER AND TECHNICAL EDUCATION MONTH\u003Cbr>(Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania was recognized to address the House for 5 minutes.) | Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Career and Technical Education Month, celebrated every February. This month allows us to highlight the value of CTE programs, which help prepare students for the workforce. These are programs that are about learning to earn.\u003Cbr>During this month, we can look atthe immense impact of CTE programson learners and the support that CTE provides to different industries. CTE does more than support students. It supports our economy and our workforce.\u003Cbr>It is an honor to be co-chair of the bipartisan House Career and Technical Education Caucus and a senior member of the Committee on Education and Workforce. I have supported and will always continue to support CTE","cbCaimtQbofPKItU","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimtQbofPKItU","pdf",554898,38,"English","# House\n## Designation of Speaker pro tempore\n## Morning-hour debate\n## Honoring Joanne Bland\n## Recognizing Career and Technical Education Month","[{\"question\":\"What is established by the designation of the Speaker pro tempore?\",\"answer\":\"The Speaker pro tempore is appointed to act for that day’s House proceedings.\"},{\"question\":\"Who is Joanne Bland and why is she honored in the record?\",\"answer\":\"Joanne Bland is honored for her civil-rights and voting-rights legacy, including her early participation in the Selma-to-Montgomery march, repeated arrests for activism, and efforts to integrate a local high school.\"},{\"question\":\"What does the record say about Career and Technical Education (CTE) in February?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights CTE programs’ value in preparing students for the workforce, supporting industries and the economy, and providing pathways that complement traditional education routes.\"}]","House - No. 36 - Congressional Record - February 24, 2026 | PDF",96]
