Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and legacy of a true community leader in the west Dallas area, Reverend Dr. M.L. Curry. For 44 years, Dr. Curry preached the Word of God from west Dallas and beyond North America, always living by the words of his first sermon: ``Here I Am Lord, Send Me, I'll Go.'' Throughout his years of service, he went out into our communities lifting up the lost, strengthening the faithful, and fighting for justice. Dr. Curry was a man of deep conviction. He was a true servant, an activist, and a champion for the west Dallas community. He was one of my first friends in the west Dallas area. He marched for the homeless and did everything he could to help make housing more secure for vulnerable families in Dallas. He was also the president of the West Dallas Interdenominational Ministerial Alliance for over 25 years, leading clergy in that area to help improve outcomes in the community. Today, we remember a man of deep faith, deep action, and someone who was a man of love. Dr. Curry has gone home to glory, but his legacy will live on forever. May he rest in peace. ____________________”
