En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia House of Representatives, not a change to state law. It recognizes the NAACP National Office, founded in 1909, on the occasion of its 116th anniversary. The resolution recounts the history of the NAACP Georgia State Conference, which began in 1941 when Dr. Ralph Mark Gilbert of Savannah convened about ten branches and which has since grown to 134 adult branches and 183 youth and college division units. The resolution formally commends the organization and directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the NAACP National Office.
