I cannot help but be moved by what I hear about Bishop Turner, and I am very pleased that we have before us this naming post office bill for Bishop Turner, a man who was early on demonstrative of great courage, conviction, equality for African Americans, as well as for women, and for helping those who need it most. So I urge this House to unanimously pass H.R. 3454, and I thank the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Chambliss) for introducing it.
