A RESOLUTION

Recognizing June 14, 2026, as Race Amity Day; and for other purposes.

WHEREAS, Race Amity Day is observed annually on the second Sunday in June, which will occur on June 14, 2026, and serves as a time to promote racial harmony, mutual respect, and genuine friendship among all people; and

WHEREAS, the concept of "amity," meaning friendship and goodwill, calls our communities to move beyond mere tolerance and toward meaningful relationships that foster unity, cooperation, and shared purpose; and

WHEREAS, Race Amity Day has its historical roots in early 20th-century race amity conventions and has been advanced in modern times by efforts such as those of the Bahá'í National Spiritual Assembly to address racism and promote the oneness of humanity; and

WHEREAS, the observance of this day encourages individuals, organizations, and communities to engage in activities that celebrate diversity through music, art, dialogue, education, and service, strengthening the social fabric of our state and nation; and

WHEREAS, the State of Georgia is home to a rich and diverse population whose cultures, histories, and contributions have shaped the strength and resilience of our communities; and

WHEREAS, fostering racial harmony and understanding is essential to achieving social justice, economic opportunity, and a unified future for all Georgians; and

WHEREAS, in times of division and uncertainty, Race Amity Day serves as a powerful reminder that unity, compassion, and friendship across racial and cultural lines are foundational to a thriving and inclusive society.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES that the members of this body recognize June 14, 2026, as Race Amity Day.
