H.R. No. 828
R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, The Oak Cliff Tribune, an integral part of the Oak
Cliff community, will be honored on May 13, 2003, when the Dallas
Baptist University-Oak Cliff Partnership presents the newspaper
with the 2003 Good Samaritan award; and
WHEREAS, Dallas city councilman Mark Housewright currently
serves as the publisher of this media institution, which can trace
its origins back 100 years to at least two newspapers, the Tribune,
founded in 1903, and the Oak Cliff Eagle, founded in 1908; and
WHEREAS, Over the course of its long and storied history, the
Oak Cliff Tribune has weathered economic downturns, circulation
wars, and a devastating office fire to become a positive and active
voice for the community and a force for progress and civic pride,
for which Councilman Housewright and his staff deserve high praise;
and
WHEREAS, The Oak Cliff Tribune is at the center of Oak Cliff's
economic and cultural development, fulfilling the mission
articulated by its managing editor, Kathie Magers, of printing news
of interest to the citizens of Oak Cliff and of the nearby
inner-city areas of Dallas; in doing so, it is truly making the
greater Oak Cliff community a better place in which to live, work,
own a business, and raise a family; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas
Legislature hereby commend the publisher and employees of the Oak
Cliff Tribune on their receipt of the 2003 Good Samaritan award from
the Dallas Baptist University-Oak Cliff Partnership and
congratulate them on the newspaper's rich and fascinating history;
and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the Tribune as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
