SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 268
         WHEREAS, Members of the Texas chapters of 100 Black Men of
  America are gathering for 100 Day at the State Capitol in Austin
  on April 22, 2021, and their visit offers a fitting opportunity
  to celebrate the work being done by this outstanding
  organization; and
         WHEREAS, 100 Black Men of America was founded in New York
  City in 1963, when a group of visionary leaders in business,
  politics, and other fields came together to explore ways of
  improving the quality of life in the African American community;
  today, the organization numbers more than 105 chapters and over
  10,000 members nationwide; guided by the motto "What They See Is
  What They'll Be," these accomplished individuals are presently
  enhancing the educational and economic opportunities available
  to more than 125,000 minority youth; and
         WHEREAS, Based upon the four pillars of mentoring,
  education, health and wellness, and economic development, the
  organization's programs seek to address the emotional and
  cultural needs of African American children, to provide
  volunteer support to schools and educators, to advocate in behalf
  of equal access to education, to promote physical fitness and
  healthy eating habits, and to empower African American
  individuals and enterprises through training in financial
  literacy and networking; and
         WHEREAS, Contributing to the advancement of this vital
  mission are the members of 100 Black Men of America who are active
  in the organization's Texas chapters, which represent Austin,
  Greater Beaumont, Greater Dallas/Fort Worth, Metropolitan
  Houston, San Antonio, and West Texas; and
         WHEREAS, For nearly six decades, the members of 100 Black
  Men of America have helped to set countless young people on the
  path to a brighter future, and they are indeed deserving of
  commendation for their myriad good works; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th

  history of service to African American youth and extend to the
  visiting Texas members sincere best wishes for a meaningful and
