SJR 578 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Recognition - UNAPOLOGETIC, 10th anniversary -

SJR 578 is a ceremonial resolution commending the Memphis-based arts organization UNAPOLOGETIC on its tenth anniversary. It recognizes the organization's work since 2015 in celebrating diverse artistic expression through music, visual art, and storytelling, which the resolution describes as "champion[ing] authenticity" and amplifying local talent. The resolution has no legal effect - it is purely symbolic recognition, expressing the Tennessee General Assembly's support for UNAPOLOGETIC's community impact. It was unanimously passed by both chambers and signed by legislative leaders in early 2026.
