AI Summary
- Urges the Capitol Art Standards Commission to accept and install a replacement plaque on the sculpture Expelled Because of Their Color, located on the northeast side of the Georgia state capitol, which memorializes the 33 African American legislators expelled from the General Assembly in 1868.
- The original plaque, dedicated in 1978 by the Georgia Association of Black Elected Officials, honored Black elected officials who served in the General Assembly between 1963 and 1978, but a subsequent replacement plaque omitted several of the original names.
- The Legislative Black Caucus has offered to fund a new plaque that restores the complete original list of honored names.
- Directs the Clerk of the House of Representatives to transmit a copy of the resolution to the Capitol Art Standards Commission.
