The resolution honors Roy Leon Price, a distinguished Washingtonian, for his remarkable contributions to the community and his exemplary life. Educated in the District of Columbia Public Schools and a graduate of Dunbar High School, Price was recognized as a talented athlete, earning a spot on the Washington Afro-American All-High Football Team in 1951. He served in the United States Air Force and became the first Black air traffic controller and supervisor at major airports in the area. Throughout his life, Price has demonstrated leadership, discipline, and a commitment to service, actively participating in his church and community associations.

At 93 years old, Price remains an inspiring figure, maintaining a vigorous workout routine and continuing to support his beloved Washington Commanders as a dedicated season ticket holder. The resolution emphasizes the importance of remembering and celebrating the achievements of African American Washingtonians, particularly those who excelled during the era of segregation. The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes Price as a leader, legend, and role model, expressing deep appreciation for his legacy and the positive impact he has made on the community.
