WHEREAS, African American cowboys and cowgirls of Georgia diligently and conscientiously devote their time, talents, and energy to giving back to their community through education programs and community service efforts; and

WHEREAS, Georgia's African American Horse Council is committed to improving Georgia communities one horseback ride at a time; and

WHEREAS, passionate for animals and youth, Georgia's African American cowboys and cowgirls reach out to their communities to instill a love of nature and animals in schools, teaching youth that they are the future and the future is worth loving; and

WHEREAS, these dedicated community servants include Charles "Chucky" Brown, Darrell Brown, Roman Brown, Joey Cameron, Jessie Davis, Yvonne Edwards, Clifton Ford, Reginald "Ray Ray" Gates, Thad Reye Heard, Lawrence Henderson, William Ray Higginbottom, Ruby Johnson, Willie Joe Johnson, Jerome Lawrence, Julius Mitchell, Anthony Monts, Reese Queen, "Big" Rick Reeves, Stephanie Reid, James Harold Robinson, Dorsey "Fox" Solomon, Ted Story, Kevias Walker, Cecil White, Daymetrie D.
