SR 5 Tennessee Senate · 114th Regular Session (2025-2026)

Memorials, Personal Occasion - Dr. Priscilla Davis, 80th birthday -

Senate Resolution 5 honors Dr. Priscilla Davis on her 80th birthday, recognizing her career as a speech-language pathologist, educator, and advocate for racial equality. The resolution highlights her personal resilience in overcoming polio as a child, her 30+ years of teaching at universities including the University of Alabama, and her leadership roles such as president of the Black Faculty and Staff Association. This symbolic gesture has no legislative effect or policy impact - it serves solely as a formal tribute from the Tennessee Senate.
