MINOR
The resolution was amended to add two new sponsors (Fitzgerald and Wilson) and expand the second 'Whereas' clause to explicitly list specific fields where Black men have demonstrated excellence, including education, business, science, the arts, sports, public service, and community activism. The formatting was also cleaned up to remove extraneous text and line breaks. These changes enhance the descriptive language of the resolution without altering its core purpose of declaring June 12, 2025, as Black Men Awareness Day in Michigan.
