On the recordMay 7, 1997
Today I address the House on the passing of a great man, a great American, Rev. Dr. Albert Moses Tyler, who died at 93 years of age in Paterson, NJ. He was a minister for 69 years, and head of St. Luke's Baptist Church in Paterson for 62 years. He spoke softly about our dignity and human rights but always intensified his efforts to make sure that our civil rights are protected. We have lost a great American, but his legacy lives on. I try in this House to carry on his great model of principles which he brought forth.
