                     HONORING DR. MANDERLINE SCALES

  (Ms. FOXX of North Carolina asked and was given permission to address

  Ms. FOXX of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the life of 
Dr. Manderline Scales of Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
  During Black History Month, we especially remember the enduring 
contributions of great Americans like Dr. Scales, who is one of four 
Black teachers to integrate Winston-Salem schools.
  Dr. Scales worked in the Winston-Salem/Forsyth County Schools for 
over 20 years and spent nearly 30 years in various roles at Winston-
Salem State University. She brought the first Spanish programs to these 
schools and was known for her belief that every encounter was an 
opportunity to impact students in a positive way.
  Additionally, she served on numerous boards, including the YMCA of 
Northwest North Carolina, Delta Fine Arts Center, and Northwest Child 
Development Center.
  Dr. Scales passed away last month, but her legacy as a dedicated 
educator and selfless community leader will endure through the many 
lives she touched in her 91 years.
