En lenguaje claro
This is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Georgia Senate, not a change to state law. It recognizes the Harlem Globetrotters, the entertainment basketball team founded in Chicago in 1926, on the occasion of their 100th anniversary. The resolution recounts the team's history, including its role in challenging racial barriers in sports, its international goodwill tours, and its youth outreach work through the Michael Douglas Youth Foundation and basketball clinics. It formally commends the team and directs the Secretary of the Senate to prepare a copy of the resolution for delivery to the Harlem Globetrotters. It creates no new rules, funding, or legal obligations.
