CONTACT LEGISLATORS TO SUPPORT THE MAJOR TAYLOR STATUE
The Massachusetts House and Senate have formed a conference committee to hammer out a final version of the fiscal 2006 supplemental budget bill. The Major Taylor Association is advocating an item that is in the House version but not the Senate version.
This item is $205,000 for the Major Taylor memorial in Worcester, introduced by Rep. John Binienda and Rep. James Leary, and it's part of House Bill 4443, Line 7004-0097. This amount would essentially complete our
fundraising for the statue so the selected sculptor can start work.
This will be Worcester's first public monument to an African-American, and all of Massachusetts can take pride in the state's role in cyclist Major Taylor's rise to 1899 world champion in the face of Jim Crow prejudice.
Currently the fate of this item is in the hands of the six legislators listed below. Please contact them today to express your support for the MAJOR TAYLOR MEMORIAL in H4443, Line 7004-0097, and, very important, if you
live or work in their district, let them know!
