A Georgia Senate resolution honors the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc., naming March 10, 2026, as their Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol.

In plain language

This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a change to state law. It commends two national advocacy and mentorship organizations, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women Inc. and the 100 Black Men of America Inc., for their work supporting African American women, girls, and men through education, health, economic development, and mentorship programs across Georgia. The resolution recognizes March 10, 2026, as a Joint Day at the Georgia State Capitol for both organizations and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare copies of the resolution for the groups' leaders, including National President Virginia Harris and Chairman of the Board Milton H. Jones Jr., as well as the Stone Mountain Lithonia Chapter of NCBW100, which is hosting the event.
