Bill > SJR0613

This concurrent resolution honors and commends The Tennessee Tribune on its thirty-fifth anniversary, recognizing its exceptional news coverage and dedication to serving the African-American community in Nashville and beyond. The resolution highlights the newspaper's founder, Rosetta Irvin Miller-Perry, a trailblazer who established the weekly publication in 1991 after a distinguished career with U.S. government agencies like the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Despite facing financial challenges, Miller-Perry invested her personal savings to launch The Tennessee Tribune, which has since become a highly influential African-American publication in Middle Tennessee, championing Civil Rights and amplifying the voices of African Americans. The resolution commends Miller-Perry and all past and present staff for their meritorious service and unwavering commitment to providing exemplary news coverage to the people of Tennessee.
