                    TRIBUTE TO MATTIE FLORENCE JONES

 Mr. PAUL. Madam President, I want to recognize Ms. Mattie 
Florence Jones, recipient of the 2020 Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. 
Freedom Award, for her lifetime of commitment to the dream of equality 
so beautifully articulated by Dr. King. Her tireless civil rights 
advocacy is surpassed only by her loving commitment to her family, 
including the dozens of foster children who were welcomed into her 
Louisville household. Her legacy of activism and service are 
unparalleled and worthy of this special distinction.
