1) Sen. Clark-Coleman's "journal statement"  by Admin003 on June 22, 2007 
Senator Clark-Coleman's statement is as follows:

I rise to thank my colleagues for co-sponsoring Senate Resolution No.76, honoring the great Louis Gossett, Jr., for his tremendous contributions to American arts and culture. Lou, as we've come to know him, has set a standard of strength, dignity, and grace in the film industry. He began his career in 1953 at the tender age of 17, when he appeared on Broadway in "Take a Giant Step." He won the Donaldson Award that year for best newcomer. In 1961, Lou enthralled us in the movie "Going Public" in a reprisal of the theatrical production of "A Raisin in the Sun."

He is best known for his role as Fiddler in the historical TV miniseries "Roots." Some 53 years after he first took the stage, Lou now is celebrating his role in Tyler Perry's latest film "Daddy's Little Girls." On Saturday--that means this Saturday, June 23rd--Comcast cable is honoring Lou at Detroit's Campus Martius and will host a special screening of the movie as part of a summer film series kick-off.

Again, I would like to thank my colleagues for helping to celebrate a stellar acting career and a wonderful American citizen.
