O great and eternal God—the God of our years, the God of silent tears, the God who has brought us this far, the God who has, by Thy might, led us into the light—on this day of February, the first day, Black History Month 2022, in celebration of a people who have endured and survived some of the greatest atrocities, and yet, been some of the greatest contributors to society, so we thank You for the vision of Carter G. Woodson. We pause to thank You for this day that You have given us; yet another chance to work towards freedom, righteousness, and justice for all. We invoke this presence upon this chamber, this Michigan State Senate, as we assemble now to do the peoples’ bidding across this great state.
Keep us mindful that we are our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers, and what affects any of us, ultimately affects all of us. Bless all the families represented in these hallowed halls, and keep them safe as we sacrifice time and effort to work together for the common good. Forgive us of our shortcomings and strengthen us on the road ahead. May our decisions today be seasoned with grace, and mindful of the mandate we have been entrusted by You, God, and those we represent to make this a better state as we work towards a more perfect union.
We ask these and other blessings in Your great name, we pray. Amen.

Whereas, Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., is a national organization of mothers whose sons and daughters serve honorably in the nation’s armed forces; and
Whereas, In 1942, Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., was founded in Flint, Michigan; and
Whereas, The purposes and activities of Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., include all of the following:
• Perpetuating the memory of the men and women who have served our country as members of the armed forces;
• Welcoming home returning veterans;
• Visiting wounded veterans in hospitals and rehabilitation centers;
• Assisting in veterans ceremonies;
• Attending patriotic rallies and meetings;
• Maintaining true allegiance to the government of the United States;
• Upholding the American institutions of freedom, justice, and equal rights;
• Caring for the unsupported mothers who gave their sons and daughters to the service of the nation; and
• Providing moral support for members; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate, That the members of this legislative body commemorate February 1, 2022, as Blue Star Mother’s Day; and be it further
Resolved, That we recognize the contributions that Blue Star Mothers of America, Inc., has made to our state and nation.
Senator Lauwers moved that the rule be suspended.
The motion prevailed, a majority of the members serving voting therefor.
Senator Barrett was named co-sponsor of the resolution.
The motion prevailed.
Senator Outman’s statement is as follows:
On February 1, 1942, a group of mothers in Flint came together to propose the creation of an organization that has done so much for our veterans and their families since its inception. That organization is the Blue Star Mothers. They send care packages to troops, they show up at the airport to support returning veterans, they certainly offer a lot of support to the families of deployed troops while they’re deployed, and they do so much more. We are honored to have a group with us in the north Gallery and I’m honored to offer this resolution to commemorate February 1 as Blue Star Mother’s Day.
Senators Hollier, Bullock, Alexander, McMorrow, Polehanki, Bayer, Santana, Moss, McCann, Chang, Wojno, Geiss, Hertel, Brinks, Ananich and Irwin offered the following concurrent resolution:
Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23.
A concurrent resolution to request the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress approve the replacement of Michigan’s statue of Lewis Cass with a statue of Coleman A. Young as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection and to take other actions related to this request.
Whereas, Congress authorized the creation of the National Statuary Hall Collection in 1864 to provide an opportunity for each state to honor two distinguished people with statues at the U.S. Capitol. Currently, Lewis Cass and Gerald Ford represent the state of Michigan in the collection. The statues were placed in the U.S. Capitol in 1889 and 2011, respectively; and
Whereas, Federal law establishes a process by which states may request the replacement of a statue located in the National Statuary Hall Collection. The first step in the process is the state legislature adopting a resolution identifying the statue to replace and the person to be honored with a new statue; selecting the entity responsible for choosing the sculptor; and directing the method of obtaining funds to cover the necessary costs of the replacement. Federal law also requires that the state’s governor submit a written request to provide a new statue to the Architect of the Capitol along with a description of the location in the state where the replaced statue will be displayed after it is transferred, and a copy of the resolution authorizing the replacement; and
Whereas, A statue of Lewis Cass was placed in the U.S. Capitol on behalf of Michigan in the late 19th century in recognition of his service to the state of Michigan and United States. Lewis Cass served as a Governor of the Michigan territory, U.S. Senator from Michigan, U.S. Secretary of War, U.S. Secretary of State, and U.S. Ambassador to France during his career; and
Whereas, Honoring Lewis Cass with a statue in the National Statuary Hall Collection is no longer consistent with the values of the people of Michigan. While Lewis Cass was an accomplished public figure, he played a prominent role in the implementation of President Andrew Jackson’s Indian removal policy, was a proponent of allowing states and territories to permit slavery, and enslaved at least one person himself; and
Whereas, Coleman A. Young was the first African-American mayor of Detroit and one of the most accomplished leaders in Michigan’s largest city’s history. Young served his country as a bombardier and navigator with the Tuskegee Airmen during World War II. He demonstrated an early interest in justice and fairness, spearheading a protest against the exclusion of Blacks from segregated officers’ clubs. Young became a union activist after the war and was elected to the Michigan Senate, serving for nine years. The people of Detroit elected him as their mayor for the first time in 1973, reelecting him four times over the next two decades. Young was known for championing needs of the city’s Black community and for building coalitions among its business leaders. Under his leadership, the city saw the completion of a number of major projects, such as the Renaissance Center, Detroit People Mover, and Joe Louis Arena. Young’s contributions to the city of Detroit and our entire state make him deserving of a place in the National Statutory Hall Collection; and
Whereas, The Michigan Statuary Hall Commission will select the sculptor and secure funding for this project; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), That we request the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress approve the replacement of Michigan’s statue of Lewis Cass with a statue of Coleman A. Young as part of the National Statuary Hall Collection; and be it further
Resolved, That we urge the Governor to communicate approval of this replacement to the Architect of the Capitol and to sign an agreement with the Architect of the Capitol to replace the Lewis Cass statue with one of Coleman A. Young; and be it further
Resolved, That we hereby establish the Michigan Statuary Hall Commission. The commission will select an artist to sculpt the statue of Coleman A. Young. The commission shall be made up of five members, with one member appointed by each of the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Senate Majority Leader, the House Minority Leader, and the Senate Minority Leader; and be it further
Resolved, That the costs of this entire project, including the costs of creating, transporting, and placing both statues at their respective locations and the costs related to ceremonies that may be held in Lansing and Washington, D.C., will be paid for by donations and other funding secured by the Michigan Statuary Hall Commission; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Governor, the Architect of the Capitol, the President of the United States Senate, the Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, the members of the Michigan congressional delegation, and the members of the Joint Committee on the Library of Congress.
By unanimous consent the Senate returned to the order of

Statements
The motion prevailed.
Senator Hollier’s statement is as follows:
Today is the first day of Black History Month and I want to thank all of the Senate Democrats for cosponsoring Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 23 to replace Lewis Cass with Coleman A. Young at the National Statuary Hall and I look forward to moving it expeditiously through this chamber. Just a couple reasons, as we think about this moment, Mayor Coleman Young was a member of the Constitutional Convention, he was the first Black mayor of the city of Detroit, but he was also a Tuskegee Airman. He was someone who served with incredible distinction and represented our state and some of the same discussions we are talking about now. He was a fierce advocate for the UAW and producing automobiles here domestically, at a time when we were losing that space, not to the south or to another state but internationally.
It’s just a pleasure to start Black History Month thinking about someone who prioritized Black people, Black communities, but Detroit, the state of Michigan, the auto industry, and was a huge believer in democracy. So when we talk about the House Un-American Activities Committee and the stain that it had on our national consciousness, our country, and this state, Coleman A. Young was one of the people who boldly stood back and said, No, this is unacceptable and we are going to push back against it. In this moment, in this time, where we have spent so much time talking about what should come down and who we should not be recognizing, it’s important that we value and prioritize who, as a state, we are lifting up because that is a big role that we have as a Legislature and I hope that we continue to think about who should be recognized, not just who shouldn’t be.
So briefly I will talk a little bit about Lewis Cass. Many of you know that I’m also Muscogee Creek; what you may not know is that my family’s ancestral land was in Georgia, and the Trail of Tears moved my entire family from Georgia to Oklahoma. That entire process was led by Secretary Cass. He was an ardent supporter of states being able to choose whether or not to become slave states, which basically meant expansion of slavery. He was the architect and the enactor of the Trail of Tears. He is someone who, when Michiganders and people from all across the country go to our nation’s Capitol, they see represented with a line that says “Michigan.” I am grateful that as a chamber, as a Legislature, we are going to do the work necessary this year to ensure that when people go to the nation’s Capitol they see a national hero. They see someone who was a Tuskegee Airman, they see someone who fought against McCarthyism, they see someone who fought for, and won, battles to ensure that domestic auto production remained here, in this state, in our community. Someone who was a fierce advocate for mass transit and equality; someone who pushed back against police brutality well before it was popular.
But most importantly, I am excited that Michigan will be the first state in the nation to send a Black man to National Statuary Hall and that we, as a chamber, as a Legislature, start that process at the beginning of Black History Month because too often we say that representation matters, too often we talk about what we should have done or how we could have done it; but today we are making a tangible, real step that I am grateful for. Because forever, Democrats have chosen our person, and Republicans have chosen theirs, and every single Democrat has co-sponsored this resolution and I look forward to us moving forward through this process.
