The resolution recounts the chapter's history, including its role in promoting the study of Black history, its members' military service in World War II, its involvement in the postwar civil rights and voting rights movements, and its role in Atlanta's political and civic life through the following decades. It concludes by directing the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for distribution to the chapter.
