NO. 4,405
WHEREAS , man, being subject to all the human frailties, has
since time immemorial been inclined to accept and take many things
for granted, not the least of which is that of freedom such as the
people of this United States of America have enjoyed since 1776 ; and
WHEREAS, as we enter into the annual July 4 celebration of
the independence of this country and its people, we should reevaluate
our position with regard to not only the freedoms which the Declaration
of Independence announced but the corresponding duties and responsi-
bilities which each of us as citizens should, with pride and enthus-
iasm, undertake personally.
NOW, THEREFORE , BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE CITY OF LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS.
SECTION 1. That we, as Americans , residing in these United
States, rededicate and commit ourselves along the principles laid
down by the Declaration of Independence, accepting not only that men
are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life , liberty and the pursuit of happiness ,
and in such dedication let deeds and acts speak louder than words .
Let us make freedom a living and growing principle in the hearts and
minds of each of us.
SECTION 2 . This Resolution shall be in full force and effect
from and after its adoption.
