Rosa Parks (Almost) Holiday

Rep. Laura Hall has pre-filed a bill for the current legislative session creating a day in honor of Rosa Parks, a day that may become a local holiday:

" The first day in December of each year is
designated as Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day in this state. All
citizens of this state are requested to devote some portion of
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day to commemorate the accomplishments of
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks, a woman of great courage, vision, love,
and faith who helped usher in the modern civil rights movement
on December 1, 1955, by refusing to give up her seat on a bus
in Montgomery, Alabama. Each resident of this state is
requested to observe the day with appropriate activities.
(2) Each county and municipality may elect to observe
Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day as a holiday."
Section 2. This act shall become effective on January
1, 2025.

"Rep. Hall's bill does NOT make December 1 a state holiday, but:

"Each county and municipality may elect to observe Mrs. Rosa L. Parks Day as a holiday."

So we'll see what happens IF Rep. Hall's bill becomes law.
