H.R. No. 686

	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Residents of Texas House District 95 are gathering
	on February 26, 2015, at the Texas Capitol to witness firsthand the
	workings of the state legislature and to celebrate together the
	place they call home; and
	WHEREAS, House District 95 includes the cities of Fort Worth,
	Forest Hill, Everman, Edgecliff Village, Kennedale, and Arlington;
	and
	WHEREAS, Camp Worth, on which the City of Fort Worth was
	built, was established in 1849 and in the years following would play
	a prominent role in the great cattle drives that defined mid-19th
	century Texas culture; this history that is so fundamental to Texas
	was commemorated beautifully in the Chisholm Trail mural in
	Sundance Square, where members of the community can still go and
	reflect on our humble roots; and
	WHEREAS, The Tarrant County Black Historical and
	Genealogical Society was founded in 1977 as a nonprofit public
	service organization dedicated to preserving the history of
	African-American contributions to Tarrant County and has made a
	significant impact on the heritage and empowerment of this
	community; additionally, the organization holds the Tarrant County
	Harambee Festival each year, a beautiful celebration commemorating
	the African art and culture that has defined Tarrant County for
	generations; and
	WHEREAS, The Stop Six neighborhood is a central part of House
	District 95, encompassing many different subdivisions developed in
	the early 1900's, built aside the sixth stop of the interurban rail
	line between Fort Worth and Dallas; in 2007 the Fort Worth City
	Council designated the neighborhood South of Ramey Street as a
	historic district of the city, ensuring the ability of future
	generations to be able to experience the rich history of this
	special place; and
	WHEREAS, Fort Worth is home to several Tuskegee Airmen,
	America's first African-American military pilots, and was also home
	to the late Tuskegee Airman Captain Claude Robert Platte Jr., who
	achieved great prominence as a pilot and flight instructor; Fort
	Worth is now home to the Claude R. Platte Chapter of Tuskegee Airman
	Inc., which works to perpetuate the legacies of these incredible
	men who were willing to serve their nation; and
	WHEREAS, The City of Forest Hill, formerly known as
	Brambleton Station and Forest Hill Village, has origins dating back
	to 1860 and has since become an important part of the I-20 corridor
	and one of the fastest growing communities in North Texas; and
	WHEREAS, Texas House District 95 provides residents and
	visitors alike with a community of rich Texas history and culture;
	now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize February 26, 2015, as House District
	95 Day at the State Capitol and welcome all those from the area who
	are in the chamber on this day.
