SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 6
|
|
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 |
|
Houston Street; during this event, citizens of all races and |
|
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 |
|
love than to hate, that one should seek justice rather than |
|
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. |
