Today, Congressman French Hill (AR-2) attended the 150^th Anniversary Celebration of the ratification of the 13^th Amendment with his invited guest, Ms. Annie Abrams of Little Rock. Following the ceremony, Congressman Hill released the below statement:

“There are very few people who have as deep an appreciation for American History—particularly as it relates to African-Americans—as my friend of nearly two decades, Ms. Annie Abrams. As a local educator and civic and community leader, Ms. Abrams has enriched the lives of countless Arkansans and Americans. To be able to spend today with her in celebration of the constitutional amendment that first allowed America to begin to uphold the value that ‘all men are created equal’ was an inspiration.”
