En lenguaje claro
This Senate resolution does not change any Georgia law. Instead, it formally honors Mrs. Rosa Parks, recounting her 1955 refusal to give up her bus seat in Montgomery, Alabama, and the boycott and legal battles that followed. It notes the honors she received, including the Presidential Medal of Freedom and Congressional Gold Medal, and that she was the first woman to lie in state in the United States Capitol Rotunda. The resolution's operative part declares that the Georgia Senate honors her memory and recognizes February 4, 2025, as Rosa Parks Day at the state capitol. It also directs the Secretary of the Senate to make copies available to the public and the press.
