H.R. No. 134
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Members of the Greater Houston Black Chamber are
gathering in Austin on February 25, 2019, for their legislative day
at the State Capitol; and
WHEREAS, One of the oldest black chambers of commerce in the
nation, the organization was founded by a group of prominent
community leaders as the Houston Negro Chamber of Commerce in
September 1935 to support, empower, and advocate for African
American businesses in the city; the chamber established itself as
a catalyst for positive change through its efforts to promote the
economic mobility and overall welfare of Houston residents and
through its involvement in such issues as fairer housing and
employment practices; and
WHEREAS, Today, the Greater Houston Black Chamber is the
premier organization for business development and partnership
opportunities in the local African American community, which
constitutes approximately 25 percent of the city's population; the
GHBC supports African American small businesses in obtaining
education and certification as well as in accessing contracting
opportunities and capital, and it helps its partners and members
identify and connect with other minority-owned businesses; the
chamber currently maintains alliances with a host of major
corporations, universities, and organizations in order to offer the
best possible services; and
WHEREAS, For more than eight decades, the Greater Houston
Black Chamber has provided a forum for African American-owned
businesses to grow and thrive, and its members may take pride in the
proud tradition of excellence they have built; now, therefore, be
it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas
Legislature hereby recognize February 25, 2019, as Greater Houston
Black Chamber Legislative Day at the State Capitol and extend a warm
welcome to the delegation visiting on this day; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the chamber as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
