CONGRATS-REV. ARTHUR WILLIAMS

This resolution formally congratulates Reverend Arthur S. Williams on his 100th birthday. It recognizes his life of service, including breaking racial barriers as Peoria's first Black housing authority employee in 1954, his military service during WWII, and decades of community and church leadership at Ward Chapel AME. The Illinois House of Representatives adopted the resolution to express esteem for his legacy of integrity and impact on generations. It has no policy effect beyond this ceremonial acknowledgment.
