En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution from the Georgia Senate rather than a bill that changes state law. It recognizes the Juneteenth Federation, which partnered with the Atlanta NAACP, North Fulton NAACP, Georgia NAACP, and Dreamz Always Came True to organize the first official Juneteenth celebration at City Green in Sandy Springs in 2021. The resolution describes the organizers' goals of making Juneteenth a city-recognized and city-funded holiday in Sandy Springs and highlights the Federation's mentorship programs in local schools. It formally states that the Senate recognizes and honors the Federation, the Atlanta NAACP, and other organizers for their contributions, and directs the Secretary of the Senate to distribute copies of the resolution to the public and press.
