It is enormously important that, as we celebrate Black History Month and honor the long and proud history of this uniquely important town, we also take the steps to preserve it for the future. As we embark on this new chapter in Princeville's history, I would like to thank Rep. Eva Clayton who has led the charge for this step I am announcing today and who has worked tirelessly on behalf of this important town. I also thank Rep. Charles Rangel for his support of this important effort.
