	of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored
	People; and
	WHEREAS, The H. Boyd Hall Branch of the NAACP held its

	raise awareness of the importance of civil rights issues and to
	bring opportunities to the disenfranchised and underserved
	people of the community; and
	WHEREAS, The branch has organized countless Juneteenth
	events and health fairs, and it has brought together people from
	all walks of life to celebrate the many achievements of
	Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.; members of the branch have worked in
	partnership with other civil rights organizations to foster
	progress and diversity in the community; and
	WHEREAS, The H. Boyd Hall Branch of the NAACP has been
	instrumental in raising awareness of the importance of equality
	and social justice, and it is truly fitting that it receive
	special recognition as it reaches this milestone in its history;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th
	Legislature, hereby commend the H. Boyd Hall Branch of the NAACP
	on its commitment to civil rights and longtime service to the
	community and extend to its members best wishes for a memorable
	100th anniversary celebration; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
	the branch as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
