TO DECLARE APRIL 13-17, 2009, THE BRIDGE OF UNITY WEEK AND TO ENCOURAGE ALL SOUTH CAROLINIANS TO BUILD RELATIONSHIPS WITH FELLOW CITIZENS OF DIFFERENT RACIAL AND CULTURAL BACKGROUNDS.
Whereas, the citizens of South Carolina come from varying racial and cultural backgrounds, a diversity that has been increasing of late years; and
Whereas, in order to create conditions that foster life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, South Carolina's citizens therefore must practice mutual respect and honor common commitments that bind us together beyond our differences; and
Whereas, to this end, the Greenville Youth Cross-Cultural Leadership Council is sponsoring The Bridge of Unity Week, to take place April 13-17, 2009, in conjunction with which the group will offer various supporting activities such as a breakfast, luncheon, and radio program; and
Whereas, the Senate commends the Greenville Youth Cross-Cultural Leadership Council for its efforts to promote good citizenship and the building of relationships among the citizens of the Palmetto State, and the members encourage both adults and youth to participate in the activities marking this unique endeavor. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the Senate:
That the members of the South Carolina Senate, by this resolution, declare April 13-17, 2009, The Bridge of Unity Week and encourage all South Carolinians to build relationships with fellow citizens of different racial and cultural backgrounds.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Greenville Youth Cross-Cultural Leadership Council.
