ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of | ||
rights of all people and to eliminate race-based discrimination; | ||
the NAACP advocates for the enactment and enforcement of federal, | ||
state, and local laws securing civil rights, and over the years, it | ||
has played a pivotal role in many groundbreaking legal cases; and | ||
WHEREAS, The NAACP of Grand Prairie is aligned with its | ||
parent organization in seeking to promote justice in the community | ||
and throughout the nation at large; the chapter is guided by a | ||
skilled leadership team and enjoys the support of numerous | ||
volunteers who are truly deserving of commendation; and | ||
WHEREAS, For nearly three decades, the Freedom Fund | ||
Scholarship Banquet has provided members an opportunity to call | ||

recognize and reward deserving area students; centered on the theme | ||
"Stand United," this year's banquet features a keynote address by | ||
motivational speaker Silk Littlejohn; and | ||
WHEREAS, The men and women of the NAACP have long | ||
distinguished themselves as champions for equality in American | ||
society, and the Freedom Fund Scholarship Banquet serves to further | ||
the vital work of this trailblazing organization; now, therefore, | ||
be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas | ||
