Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.
DESIGNATING WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1993, AS "NATIONAL COUNCIL OF NEGRO WOMEN LEGISLATIVE RECOGNITION DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
Whereas, Mary McLeod Bethune founded the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW) in l935; and
Whereas, her goal was to unite Black women's social, civic, religious, and professional organizations under one principal banner as a way to confront and overcome racism, lack of opportunity, and problems in health and education which plagued the Black community; and
Whereas, today NCNW represents thirty-three affiliated organizations with a membership of over four million women, and the Council's 250 local community-based sections mobilize their own communities around specific programs based on commitment, unity, and self-reliance; and
Whereas, NCNW makes its impact felt on behalf of African-American women, children, and families every day, and the excellent work of this outstanding organization is highly deserving of recognition. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, designates Wednesday, March 3, 1993, as "National Council of Negro Women Legislative Recognition Day" in South Carolina. Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Mrs. Sarah C. Leonard, State Convener, National Council of Negro Women, Inc., South Carolina State Mechanism, P.O. Box 30704, Charleston, South Carolina 29417.
