lence and bigotry;
Whereas crimes motivated by hatred against African-Ameri-

Whereas hate crimes tear at the fabric of American society,
leave scars on victims and their families, and weaken our
sense of community and purpose;
Whereas Ricky Byrdsong, at age 43, was a loving husband
and father, an inspiring community leader, and a former
