S. RES. 590

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

July 21, 2010

Mrs. Lincoln (for herself and Mrs. Hutchison) submitted the following resolution; which was considered and agreed to

RESOLUTION

Designating September 2010 as Gospel Music Heritage Month and honoring gospel music for its valuable contributions to the culture of the United States.

Whereas gospel music is a beloved art form of the United States;

Whereas gospel music is a cornerstone of the musical traditions of the United States and has spread beyond origins in African-American spirituals to achieve popular cultural and historical relevance;

Whereas gospel music has spread beyond geographic origins in the United States to touch audiences around the world; and

Whereas gospel music is a testament to the universal appeal of a historical art form of the United States that both inspires and entertains across racial, ethnic, religious, and geographical boundaries: Now, therefore, be it

That the Senate—

(1)

designates September 2010 as Gospel Music Heritage Month; and

(2)

recognizes the valuable contributions to the culture of the United States derived from the rich heritage of gospel music and gospel music artists.
