	S.C.R. No. 51




	SENATE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
	WHEREAS, Chapter 448, Government Code, provides for the
	establishment of a Juneteenth memorial monument on the grounds of
	the State Capitol, and the State Preservation Board approved the
	location of the monument at its meeting held on February 14, 2003;
	and
	WHEREAS, Rather than limiting the focus of the monument to
	the commemoration of Juneteenth, the legislature supports the
	establishment of a monument to celebrate the contributions of
	African American Texans to the history of this state at the location
	previously approved for a Juneteenth monument; now, therefore, be
	it
	RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
	hereby express support for the establishment of a monument to
	African American Texans on the grounds of the State Capitol at the
	location approved for a Juneteenth monument by the State
	Preservation Board in 2003; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
	copy of this resolution to the executive director and members of the
	State Preservation Board.
