H.R. No. 1074

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Texas chapters of 100 Black Men of
America are gathering at the State Capitol in Austin on April 18,
2019, and their visit offers a fitting opportunity to celebrate the
work being done by this outstanding organization; and
WHEREAS, 100 Black Men of America was founded in New York City
in 1963, when a group of visionary leaders in business, politics,
and other fields came together to explore ways of improving the
quality of life in the African American community; today, the
organization numbers more than 90 chapters and over 10,000 members
nationwide; guided by the motto "What They See Is What They'll Be,"
these accomplished individuals are presently enhancing the
educational and economic opportunities available to over 125,000
minority youth; and
WHEREAS, Based upon the four pillars of mentoring, education,
health and wellness, and economic development, the organization's
programs seek to address the emotional and cultural needs of
African American children, to provide volunteer support to schools
and educators, to advocate on behalf of equal access to education,
to promote physical fitness and healthy eating habits, and to
empower African American individuals and enterprises through
training in financial literacy and networking; and
WHEREAS, Contributing to the advancement of this vital
mission are the members of 100 Black Men of America who are active
in the organization's Texas chapters, which represent Austin,
Greater Beaumont, Greater Dallas/Fort Worth, Metropolitan Houston,
San Antonio, and West Texas; and
WHEREAS, For more than half a century, the members of 100
Black Men of America have helped to set countless young people on
the path to a brighter future, and they are indeed deserving of
commendation for their myriad good works; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby honor 100 Black Men of America for its long
history of service to African American youth and extend to the
visiting Texas members sincere best wishes for a meaningful and
memorable stay in Austin; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That official copies of this resolution be prepared
for the Texas chapters as an expression of high regard by the Texas
House of Representatives.
