Celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Senate Black Legislative Staff

Whereas, in 1977, Jackie Parker and Ralph Everett had the vision and courage to 
        improve the working conditions of Black Senate staffers;
Whereas the Senate Black Legislative Staff Caucus continues to promote diversity 
        and inclusion within the Senate;
Whereas, for the first time in its 40-year history, the Senate Black Legislative 
        Staff Caucus celebrates 3 African-Americans serving simultaneously in 
        the Senate;
Whereas the Senate Black Legislative Staff Caucus recognizes each of the 10 
        current or former Senators of African-American descent; and
Whereas, the Senate Black Legislative Staff Caucus continues to fight for the 
        justice and equality that started during the civil rights movement of 
        the 1960s: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate honors the Senate Black Legislative Staff 
Caucus for its many contributions and commitment to enrich the Senate 
community.
