This is a ceremonial resolution (not a policy bill), commending John T. Grant, Jr., for his leadership as Executive Director of the Cricket Celebration Bowl and MEAC/SWAC Challenge Kickoff. It recognizes his work since 2015 in growing these HBCU football events into nationally televised competitions, including the Cricket Celebration Bowl at Mercedes Benz Stadium. The resolution specifically highlights his role in elevating the visibility of Historically Black College and University (HBCU) athletics and his community contributions through organizations like 100 Black Men of Atlanta. It has no legal effect or policy changes - it is solely a formal expression of praise from the Mississippi House of Representatives.
