SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 6
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the citizens of San Antonio in honoring the life, struggles,
and great accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., one of
the nation's greatest civil rights leaders, on the occasion of
the Martin Luther King Jr. Day commemorative wreath-laying
ceremony taking place January 18, 2015; and
WHEREAS, The ceremony is being held in San Antonio's King
Plaza, at the intersection of North New Braunfels Street and East
Houston Street; during this event, citizens of all races and
religions come together and lay wreaths in front of the statue of
Dr. King to celebrate his legacy; and
WHEREAS, Dr. King dedicated his life to achieving
nonviolent social change; he maintained that it is far better to
love than to hate, that one should seek justice rather than
revenge, and that one should refrain from acts of violence
against any person, group, race, or religion; and
WHEREAS, The San Antonio Martin Luther King Jr. Commission
and other organizations holding commemorative functions have
worked hard to uphold the memory of Dr. King; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 84th
Legislature, hereby commend the citizens of San Antonio on their
commitment to the principles of justice and equality for all and
join them in commemorating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
at a wreath-laying ceremony in San Antonio's King Plaza; and, be
it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
the City of San Antonio in honor of this special day.
