CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, Chapter 448, Government Code, provides for the
  establishment of a Juneteenth memorial monument on the grounds of
  the State Capitol, and the State Preservation Board approved the
  location of the monument at its meeting held on February 14, 2003;
  and
         WHEREAS, Rather than limiting the focus of the monument to
  the commemoration of Juneteenth, the legislature supports the
  establishment of a monument to celebrate the contributions of
  African American Texans to the history of this state at the location
  previously approved for a Juneteenth monument; now, therefore, be
  it
         RESOLVED, That the 82nd Legislature of the State of Texas
  hereby express support for the establishment of a monument to
  African American Texans on the grounds of the State Capitol at the
  location approved for a Juneteenth monument by the State
  Preservation Board in 2003; and, be it further
         RESOLVED, That the secretary of state forward an official
  copy of this resolution to the executive director and members of the
  State Preservation Board.
