13 bias and bullying by promoting respect for differences; and
14 WHEREAS, "No Place for Hate" projects in communities and
1 schools in this Commonwealth have taken the form of candlelight
2 vigils, surveys in middle schools and high schools, teacher and
3 student training, panel discussions on bullying, mural projects,
4 formation of rapid response teams, marches, speeches and talent
5 shows where performers have presented original pieces based on
6 the "No Place for Hate" theme; and
7 WHEREAS, While its work is far from done, ADL has every
8 reason to be proud of its outstanding contributions to the
9 understanding and tolerance that exist today in American society
10 and especially its well-received five-year-old "No Place for
11 Hate" program; therefore be it
12 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives designate May 1,
13 2007, as "No Place for Hate Day" in Pennsylvania and commend the
14 Anti-Defamation League for its outstanding efforts to promote
15 peace, brotherhood and goodwill through its "No Place for Hate"
