En lenguaje claro
This is a House resolution, a formal statement from the Georgia House of Representatives rather than a change to state law. It recounts the life of Reverend Clarice Marijetta Wyatt Bell Church, born in 1929, who earned degrees from Spelman College and Atlanta University, worked as a librarian and media specialist, supported civil rights efforts including the desegregation of Grady Memorial Hospital, founded a real estate business, and later became an ordained minister who housed people experiencing homelessness. The resolution formally honors her life and legacy and extends sympathy to her family. It directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to send an official copy of the resolution to her family. It does not create, amend, or repeal any Georgia law.
