Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Black Voice News, which has reported on seeking justice in the Inland Empire through their reporting for decades. For the last 50 years, the Black Voice News has addressed issues such as disparities in healthcare, wealth, and education. This dedicated team of talented journalists has chronicled some of the most important stories impacting Black lives in my community and given a voice to our residents. They have lifted up the stories of middle-class families doing their best, through joys and sorrows, to carve out a better life for themselves and their families. The Inland Empire residents deserve to have access to local news, and Black Voice News provides that. I am so proud of everything this publication has accomplished over the last 50 years, and I am excited to see what is to come in the next 50. ____________________
