A RESOLUTION

Recognizing and commending Lucy C. Huie, outstanding citizen; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, long before the Georgia General Assembly passed enabling legislation to create the HOPE scholarship fund, another HOPE had been established, the Clayton County grassroots organization known as Help Our Public Education; and

WHEREAS, this outstanding organization was begun by Lucy Huie, her husband, and several of her neighbors in Clayton County, Georgia; and

WHEREAS, Lucy Huie is a long-standing member of the Clayton County community where she and her family are considered a cornerstone on which the current community has been built; and

WHEREAS, with their tremendous dedication and perseverance, this organization was able to fight for civil rights and the desegregation of the Clayton County School System; and

WHEREAS, despite threats and horrendous acts of intemidation conducted by the Klu Klux Klan against her, she stood firm and bravely continued her efforts for equality and justice; and

WHEREAS, Lucy Huie's tremendous dedication to her community is further demonstrated through her active service on numerous boards and associations, her long history of community activism, and her support of the Clayton County arts; and

WHEREAS, she has honored Clayton County through her creation of the Oral History Project, a local history of Clayton County since World War II based on interviews of people who lived through this era of social change; and

WHEREAS, Lucy C. Huie is a woman of great compassion and deep concern for her friends and fellow citizens; and her loving, generous, and courageous spirit is an example to all who know her; and it is only fitting and proper that this fine and distinguished citizen who is a loving and caring public servant and friend to so many be appropriately recognized.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE SENATE that the members of this body commend Lucy C. Huie for her exemplary public service to this state and extend their sincere gratitude for her many contributions to her fellow citizens.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Secretary of the Senate is authorized and directed to transmit an appropriate copy of this resolution to Lucy C. Huie.
