Congressman Steve Cohen will receive the D. Emelio Castelar Work Recognition Award in Madrid, Spain in honor of his work on H. Res 194, his bill calling upon the House of Representatives to formally apologize for the enslavement and segregation of African-Americans.

Cohen will serve as a keynote speaker for the Vida Foundation’s international symposium on the abolition of slavery and the slave trade.

The Vida Foundation is a non-governmental organization that promotes environmental protection and human rights.

I would like to thank the good people of Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District for their overwhelming support in the General Election.  I am honored that you thought enough of my job performance in the United States Congress that I was able to win in such a resounding fashion.

I am looking forward to working with the new Obama Administration to solve many of the problems that we face today.

Thank you for allowing me to remain your voice in Congress.  I will keep Fighting For Memphis and getting the job done.
