In plain language
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, a type of measure lawmakers pass to honor individuals rather than to change state law. It recognizes Christopher Lambry, Jr., a Political Science student at Morehouse College in Atlanta, for his academic achievements and leadership roles, including being elected the 95th Student Government Association President of Morehouse College. The resolution highlights his work as Vice President of the NAACP chapter and Morehouse Democrats, his recognition as an Oprah Winfrey Scholar and W.E.B. Du Bois Research Scholar at Harvard University, his role organizing a voter mobilization effort called 'March to the Polls,' and his service as an international election observer in South Africa. It directs the Clerk of the House to provide him a copy of the resolution.
