| the University of North Texas; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Burlyce Logan first enrolled in 1956 as one of the | ||
| first African American students to attend the university after | ||
| the landmark Brown v. Board of Education ruling by the United | ||
| States Supreme Court; she faced prejudice and discrimination on | ||
| campus before dropping out of school to move to California, where | ||
| she married and began her family; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Through the years, Mrs. Logan remained determined | ||
| to earn a college degree from the University of North Texas; she | ||
| returned with her husband to Denton in 1996 and held a number of | ||
| jobs, including work at the university, before reenrolling in | ||
| classes in 2005; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Upon her return as a student, Mrs. Logan | ||
| distinguished herself in classes, earning the admiration of her | ||
| of first serving as a pioneer in the university's integration and | ||
| then excelling in school after a hiatus of nearly half a century | ||
| are an inspiration to all those who know her; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Mrs. Logan embodies the virtues of courage, | ||
| strength, and resolve, and it is truly fitting that she be | ||
| honored for this signal achievement; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd | ||
| Legislature, 1st Called Session, hereby commend Burlyce Logan on | ||
| her many achievements and extend congratulations to her on the | ||
| occasion of her graduation from the University of North Texas; | ||
| and, be it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| her as an expression of high regard from the Texas Senate. | ||
