Whereas, on May 4, 1961, a Greyhound bus left Washington, 
DC with black and white passengers and traveled South 
to challenge discriminatory racial segregation laws; 
Whereas, while the travels of these passengers were initially 
called a Journey of Reconciliation, their efforts would 
come to be known as the Freedom Rides; 
Whereas these Southern-bound passengers, known as the 
Freedom Riders, were united by their commitment to end 
segregation and ongoing racial discrimination; 
Whereas the Freedom Riders traveled into states where Jim 
Crow laws were still prevalent, thus challenging the Fed-
eral Government to enforce its decision to overturn them 
by non-violently integrating the bus routes and rest stops; 
Whereas, on their journeys during the Summer of 1961, the 
Freedom Riders would stop at locations in Virginia, 
North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia, 
Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana; 
Whereas, at many times during the Freedom Rides, the Rid-
ers encountered antagonism, verbal abuse, acts of vio-
lence, and incarceration, yet never gave up their commit-
ment to equality and social justice;
•HRES 1779 EH 
Whereas, led by James Farmer and the Congress of Racial 
Equality, the Freedom Riders were successful in part due 
to their role-playing preparation and practice in non-vio-
lence and Gandhian principles; 
Whereas the Freedom Riders’ non-violent actions would help 
expose to the Nation and the world the cruelty and injus-
tice of Jim Crow laws; and 
Whereas the Freedom Rides would spur the Kennedy Admin-

teed the rights and safety of all passengers, regardless of 
race, gender, or religious background, to sit wherever 
they desired on bus routes and at rest stops: Now, there-

In the House of Representatives, U. S., 
March 23, 2009. 
Whereas traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death 
and disability among children and young adults in the 
United States; 
Whereas at least 1.4 million Americans sustain a traumatic 
brain injury each year; 
Whereas each year, more than 125,000 of such Americans 
sustain permanent life-long disabilities from a traumatic 
brain injury, resulting in a life-altering experience that 
can include the most serious physical, cognitive, and emo-
tional impairments; 
Whereas every 21 seconds, one person in the United States 
sustains a traumatic brain injury; 
Whereas at least 3.17 million Americans currently live with 
permanent disabilities resulting from a traumatic brain 
injury; 
Whereas traumatic brain injuries may have a life-altering im-
pact on both Americans living with resultant disabilities 
and their families; 
Whereas concussions are serious injuries to the brain and 
multiple concussions can lead to lifelong disability and 
death;
•HRES 178 EH 
Whereas most cases of traumatic brain injury are prevent-
able; 
Whereas traumatic brain injuries cost the nation $60 billion 
annually; 
Whereas the lack of public awareness is so vast that trau-
matic brain injury is known in the disability community 
as the Nation’s ‘‘silent epidemic’’; 
Whereas traumatic brain injury is the signature wound of the 
global war on terrorism as a result of roadside bombs 
and blasts; 
Whereas the military personnel who have served in the 
Armed Forces of the United States in such war and who 
return to the United States with traumatic brain injuries 
will require additional Federal, State, and local resources; 
Whereas there is a need for enhanced public awareness of 
traumatic brain injury; 
Whereas the designation of a National Brain Injury Aware-
ness Month will work toward enhancing public awareness 
of traumatic brain injury; and 
Whereas the Brain Injury Association of America has recog-

therefore, be it 
Resolved, That House of Representatives—

Whereas to achieve the goal of the No Child Left Behind Act 
of 2001 (Public Law 107–110) of helping all children 
reach their optimal levels of potential and achievement, 
including children with serious emotional disturbances, 
schools must work to remove the emotional, behavioral, 
and academic barriers that interfere with student success 
in school; 
Whereas fewer than 1 in 5 of the 17,500,000 children in need 
of mental health services actually receive these services, 
and research indicates that school mental health pro-
grams improve educational outcomes by decreasing ab-
sences, decreasing discipline referrals, and improving aca-
demic achievement; 
Whereas school mental health programs are critical to early 
identification of mental health problems and in the provi-
sion of appropriate services when needed; 
Whereas the national average ratio of students to school so-

Whereas the importance of school social work through the in-

Whereas school social workers serve as vital members of a

ating partnerships between the home, school, and com-
munity to ensure student academic success; 
Whereas school social workers are especially skilled in pro-
viding services to students who face serious challenges to 
school success, including poverty, disability, discrimina-
tion, abuse, addiction, bullying, divorce of parents, loss of 
a loved one, and other barriers to learning; 
Whereas there is a growing need for local educational agen-
cies to offer the mental health services that school social 
workers provide when working with families, teachers, 
principals, community agencies, and other entities to ad-
dress students’ emotional, physical, and environmental 
needs so that students may achieve behavioral and aca-
