SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 433
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize Ruby Cole Session for her laudable achievements as an
educator and advocate; and
WHEREAS, Throughout her lifetime, this distinguished Fort
Worth citizen has served as a role model for school children; she
is also well regarded for her tireless efforts in the field of
criminal justice reform; and
WHEREAS, Mrs. Session is the mother of the late Tim Cole,
who was the first inmate in Texas to be posthumously exonerated;
she is a fierce champion of the wrongly accused; her work on
behalf of her son's case is a poignant testament to a mother's
refusal to give up hope; and
WHEREAS, As a teacher for more than 30 years, Mrs. Session
has also had a positive impact on the lives of innumerable school
children; as one of the first 25 African-American women to
graduate from Texas Christian University, she is, herself, a
shining tribute to academic achievement; and
WHEREAS, This outstanding Fort Worth resident is revered
by her friends and family as a devoted mother, an accomplished
educator, and a resolute advocate of criminal justice reform;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby commend Ruby Cole Session on her many
achievements and extend to her sincere best wishes in all her
future endeavors; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
Mrs. Session as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
Davis, Ellis
