Recognizing the 100th anniversary of Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, Georgia.
This resolution formally recognizes the 100th anniversary of Booker T. Washington High School in Atlanta, which opened in 1924 as the city's first public high school for Black students. It honors the Atlanta Black community's decades-long advocacy - including successful voter mobilization and school bond referendums - that led to the school's construction after years of systemic barriers to Black education. The resolution celebrates the school's historical significance, its role as a cultural cornerstone, and the achievements of its notable alumni. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or policies.
