SJR 22 Alabama Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Rosa Parks Day Act, recognized

This resolution (SJR 22) is a symbolic gesture by the Alabama Senate to publicly support the federal proposal designating December 1 as "Rosa Parks Day," commemorating her 1955 arrest that sparked the Montgomery Bus Boycott. It does not create a new state holiday or law; instead, it urges Alabama to endorse the federal effort to honor Rosa Parks' role in the civil rights movement. The resolution specifically recognizes her courage in refusing to give up her bus seat and her lasting impact on the fight for equality. This is a non-binding statement of support for a federal holiday, not a policy change affecting residents or state operations.
