Madam Speaker. on behalf of more than 110.000 of my constituents who are of Polish descent. I proudly rise to recognize the 70th anniversary of the Polish Museum of America. The Polish community has existed in Chicago for more than two centuries. and few immigrant groups have come to Chicago in such consistent numbers over that period of time. Beginning in 1830 when three Polish people voted in the first Chicago mayoral election. the Polish community has left an indelible mark on Chicagos political. cultural. and economic development. The Polish Museum of America is the oldest ethnic museum in the United States.
