| WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
| join the citizens of San Antonio in honoring the life, struggles, | ||
| and great accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of | ||
| the nation's greatest civil rights leaders, on the occasion of | ||
| the Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemorative wreath-laying | ||
| ceremony taking place January 18, 2015; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The ceremony is being held in San Antonio's King | ||
| Plaza, at the intersection of North New Braunfels Street and East | ||

| religions come together and lay wreaths in front of the statue of | ||
| Dr. King to celebrate his legacy; and | ||
| WHEREAS, Dr. King dedicated his life to achieving | ||
| nonviolent social change; he maintained that it is far better to | ||

| revenge, and that one should refrain from acts of violence | ||
| against any person, group, race, or religion; and | ||
| WHEREAS, The San Antonio Martin Luther King Jr. Commission | ||
| and other organizations holding commemorative functions have | ||
| worked hard to uphold the memory of Dr. King; now, therefore, be it | ||
| RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th | ||
| Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of San Antonio on their | ||
| commitment to the principles of justice and equality for all and | ||
| join them in commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. | ||
| at a wreath-laying ceremony in San Antonio's King Plaza; and, be | ||
| it further | ||
| RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
| the City of San Antonio in honor of this special day. | ||
