        Henry Fort, an African-American cabinet maker whose work is still in use 
        in many local homes;
Whereas Garner has grown to become a dynamic, thriving community; and
Whereas, on April 16, 2005, Garner will celebrate its achievements and culture 
        with a Centennial Day Celebration: Now, therefore, be it
