HR792: HR792 404 Day; April 4, 2025; recognize

This resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives recognizes April 4, 2025, as "404 Day," a nod to Atlanta's 404 area code. The resolution focuses on the Bankhead neighborhood on Atlanta's West side, describing its role in shaping the city's music, art, fashion, dance, language, and activism, particularly through hip-hop and Black cultural expression. The resolution does not create any new law, funding, or program. It simply states the House's recognition of the day and Bankhead's legacy, and it directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare copies of the resolution for distribution to the public and the press.
