H.R. No. 180 |
|
||
WHEREAS, The "First Annual Commemoration of Our Chicano | ||
Legacy" is taking place in Crystal City from November 7 to 10, 2013; | ||
and | ||
WHEREAS, This noteworthy event is honoring Chicano activists | ||
who have furthered the cause of social justice, in keeping with a | ||
tradition of engagement established in Zavala County during a | ||
crucial period in American history; in 1963 and again in 1969, | ||
Mexican Americans in Crystal City organized against Anglo | ||
domination of city hall and the public school system, and these | ||
determined, courageous citizens won an electoral victory for | ||
members of their community for the first time since the city's | ||
incorporation in 1910; and | ||
WHEREAS, The Crystal City movement marked a significant | ||
turning point for Mexican Americans, and it is indeed fitting to | ||
recognize those who took part and all those who have been inspired | ||
to continue to work toward a more just and equal society; now, | ||
therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 83rd Texas | ||
Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby recognize the "First Annual | ||
Commemoration of Our Chicano Legacy" and extend to the event | ||
organizers and participants sincere best wishes for a memorable and | ||
meaningful observance; and, be it further | ||
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be | ||
prepared for the coordinating committee as an expression of high | ||
regard by the Texas House of Representatives. | ||
Alonzo | ||
King of Zavala | ||
