Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. CARSON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in honor of 90s R&B Vocal icons Boyz II Men, who will be performing at the Historic Madam Walker Legacy Theater in Indianapolis and inducted into the Madam Walker Legacy Center's Walk of Fame.

Boyz II Men was founded in 1988 as a quintet but rose to fame as a quartet and then an iconic trio. The group grew into the spotlight in the 90s with hits like ``Motownphilly,'' ``A Song for Mama,'' and the fan favorite, ``I'll Make Love to You.''

Boyz II Men has been captivating audiences worldwide for over three decades. With the voices of Nathan Morris, Wanya Morris, and Shawn Stockman, the group is one of the most successful groups in music history, with over 60 million albums sold. Their career and impact on our culture has been nothing short of extraordinary.

Indianapolis is thrilled to have Boyz II Men join us at the Legacy Fest, an event benefiting the Madam Walker Legacy Center. This signature fundraiser provides support for the organization's year-round STEAM, entrepreneurship, women's equity, social justice, and arts programming.

Today, we celebrate Boyz II Men for their long-lasting career and enduring talent. Thirty years later, their impact is just as strong, with fans across generations and continents. I am honored to help recognize Boyz II Men and cement their legacy into the Madam Walker Legacy Center Walk of Fame.
