The resolution describes their backgrounds, including Elder Moore's decades of pastoral ministry and Dr. Johnson-Moore's career in technology, her Historically Black College or University education, and her founding of organizations such as A Gathering of Women, Covenant Partners, and Sistahs for Life.
