A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO COMMEND MISS ANISA KINTZ OF HORRY COUNTY FOR HER OUTSTANDING EFFORTS TO ATTACK RACISM AND TO EDUCATE OTHER CHILDREN AND ADULTS.

Whereas, Anisa Kintz of Horry County with ten of her friends organized the first conference on racism specifically designed for children in grades third through eighth entitled "Calling All Colors"; and

Whereas, this four foot tall, blonde, blue-eyed nine-year-old honor student was born in Nairobi, Kenya, and has visited foreign countries with different cultures and discovered "people are people no matter where you go"; and

Whereas, at age six, Miss Kintz gave her first public talk about race relations at the Louis Gregory Baha'i Institute as a first grader; and

Whereas, shortly thereafter, she was invited to give a speech at a convention in Atlanta as a guest of the Association of Baha'i Studies; and

Whereas, the Baha'i faith is a world religion in which all of its teachings focus on the principle of unity and Miss Kintz believes "without love, there is no unity and without unity, there is no peace"; and

Whereas, Miss Kintz has seen how destructive racism is and feels that hatred of others just because they have different backgrounds comes out of ignorance; and

Whereas, Miss Kintz organized the conference because she wanted to do her part to stop that kind of ignorance among her generation; and

Whereas, Miss Kintz is a straight A student who has never missed the honor roll, a reporter on the school newspaper, has skipped third grade because of her academic achievements, is a student in Horry County's Pursuing Excellence in Learning Through Innovative Cognitive and Affective Nurturance (PELICAN) gifted program and is most proud of her sharp mind; and

Whereas, Miss Kintz is an excellent role model for her peers and for adults. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly commend Miss Anisa Kintz of Horry County for her outstanding efforts to attack racism and to educate other children and adults.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to Miss Kintz and her parents, Greg and Ginny Kintz.
