  Mr. THOMPSON of Mississippi. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor a 
tenacious and ambitious woman, Ms. Murindia Williams. Murindia has 
shown what can be done through hard work, dedication and a desire to 
serve others.
  Murindia was born and raised in Rolling Fork and began her career 
with Sharkey County in 1992 as a deputy clerk in the Chancery and 
Circuit Clerk's office. Ten years later she was chosen by the voters in 
the county to serve them as the first black Chancery and Circuit Clerk.
  She is also heavily involved in community organizations, serving as 
co-chair for the Deep Delta Blues Heritage Festival and is a longtime 
member of the Ebonette Social and Civic Club. She is currently a member 
of the Circuit Clerks Leadership Committee, and is past president of 
that association, a member of the WWISCAA Advisory Board, and member of 
the Shiloh M. B. Church where she serves as choir president.
  Madam Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Ms. 
Murindia Williams for her passion and dedication to serving Sharkey 
County and desire to make a difference in the community.
