Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay tribute to the life and work of Professor Nellie McKay of the University of WisconsinMadison. At the time of her death. Professor McKay was known worldwide as one of the most distinguished scholars of AfricanAmerican literature. Nellie McKay was the daughter of immigrants who sought for her the education and advancement that was denied them. She realized all their dreams and more. After earning her doctorate in English and American literature from Harvard and teaching in Boston. Professor McKay. to the dismay of many of her friends. moved to the midwestern city of Madison.
