Bill > SC528

This Concurrent Resolution commemorates Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated (AKA), a historically significant African American Greek-letter sorority founded in 1908, on the occasion of their "2020 Alpha Kappa Alpha Day at the Mississippi State Capitol" held on March 17, 2020. The resolution acknowledges the sorority's dedication to community service, human rights, social justice, and civic engagement, highlighting their extensive volunteer efforts and international programs aimed at improving lives and communities. It also recognizes the presence of six AKA members within the Mississippi Legislature and the sorority's national political awareness initiative, which encourages members to engage with lawmakers to advocate for their public policy agenda. The resolution formally commends AKA for their outstanding service and contributions to society, particularly within Mississippi, and directs that copies be distributed to sorority representatives and the Capitol Press Corps.
