Senate Resolution No. 413

BY: Senator PARKER

 COMMEMORATING Jubilee Day on June 1, 2025,
 honoring the legacy and perseverance of Prince Hall
 Shriners

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
commemorate historic events that have shaped the course of justice,
equality, and progress within our communities; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate Jubilee Day, an annual observance honoring the historic
legal victory of Prince Hall Shriners, to be celebrated on Sunday, June
1, 2025; and

 WHEREAS, Jubilee Day marks the June 3, 1929, unanimous ruling by the
United States Supreme Court, affirming the legal rights of the Ancient
Egyptian Arabic Order Nobles Mystic Shrine (A.E.A.O.N.M.S.), to exist
and operate, securing their place as an essential institution within the
Masonic and fraternal community; and

 WHEREAS, This landmark decision represented not only a victory for
Prince Hall Shriners, but a defining moment in the ongoing pursuit of
equity, self-determination, and fraternal unity, reinforcing the
fundamental principles of justice, perseverance, and brotherhood; and

 WHEREAS, For nearly a century, Jubilee Day has been a time of
reflection, gratitude, and rededication to the mission of Prince Hall
Shriners, whose unwavering commitment to charity, community service, and
empowerment continues to uplift individuals and families across the
nation; and

 WHEREAS, Through scholarship programs, medical aid initiatives,
mentorship, and civic engagement, Prince Hall Shriners remain steadfast
in their efforts to promote education, healthcare access, and economic
advancement for those in need; and

 WHEREAS, On this Jubilee Day, we celebrate the resilience, unity,
and enduring legacy of Prince Hall Shriners, recognizing their profound
contributions to historical progress, community enrichment, and the
Masonic tradition; and

 WHEREAS, It is fitting and proper that this Legislative Body pause
in its deliberations to acknowledge the significance of this historic
occasion and to recognize the profound impact of Jubilee Day in shaping
the enduring mission of Prince Hall Shriners; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
commemorate Jubilee Day, honoring the legacy and perseverance of Prince
Hall Shriners, to be observed on Sunday, June 1, 2025, and to extend
sincere appreciation to all members for their unwavering commitment to
service, excellence, and empowerment; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to the leadership of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order
Nobles Mystic Shrine (A.E.A.O.N.M.S.).
