Memorials, Recognition - St. John Cultural Arts Center at the Promise Land Historic Site -

This resolution formally recognizes and commends the St. John Cultural Arts Center at the Promise Land Historic Site in Tennessee. It specifically honors the Promise Land Heritage Association (PLHA) for restoring the historic St. John Methodist Church building (originally constructed in the 1880s) and establishing the center as a cultural hub for educational programs, art exhibitions, and community events. The resolution highlights the site's historical significance as part of a community settled by formerly enslaved persons and Union Army veterans, and its connection to John Lewis and The Promise Land Singers. As a ceremonial resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funds, but serves to acknowledge the center's role in preserving local heritage.
