HR 576: Bryant, Janice Arnwine; receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award; commend

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes Janice Arnwine Bryant, a retired middle and high school science teacher, for receiving the 2025 Yellow Rose Nikki T. Randall Servant Leader Award, given annually by the Georgia Legislative Women's Caucus during Women's History Month. The resolution recounts her service as secretary of the Fayette County NAACP, her co-chair role with the Fayette County Community Remembrance Coalition, and her research work connecting the 1906 Atlanta Race Massacre to a soil ceremony and interactive display at the Fayette County Library. The House formally congratulates her and directs the Clerk of the House to provide her a copy of the resolution.
