would be it; New York State is home to a wide variety of international
and national halls of fame; and

WHEREAS, The renowned shrine to our national pastime, the National

honors antislavery abolitionists, their work to end slavery, and the
legacy of that struggle, and strives to complete the second and ongoing
abolition, the moral conviction to end racism; and

WHEREAS, All of these Hall of Fames and many more throughout the
great State of New York provide a tremendous service to constituents
from all over the state, providing residents with the ability to learn
about a wide array of subjects and the history behind these subjects;
and

WHEREAS, Furthermore, these Hall of Fames are struggling with the
ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and some are in danger of closing their doors;
these museums and Hall of Fames are historical monuments which should be
honored for their extraordinary and steadfast service to the countless
communities they serve; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Andrew M. Cuomo to proclaim July 5-9, 2021, as Hall
of Fame Appreciation Week in the State of New York; and be it further
