Full Bill

WHEREAS, On Saturday, May 4th , 2013, East Mt. Airy Neighbors and West Mt. Airy Neighbors will come together to celebrate the 43rd Annual Mt. Airy Day; and

WHEREAS, Mt. Airy is recognized by many civil rights groups as one of the first successfully integrated neighborhoods in America. Mt. Airy residents organized to resist blockbusting, panic selling, and redlining, especially during the period from the late 1950s to the early 1970s when those practices were prevalent. It continues to be a well-blended neighborhood and was recently cited in Oprah Winfrey's

O Magazine

for its racial diversity and neighborhood appeal. The community has also been recognized by US News & World Report for racial harmony and balance; and

WHEREAS, Mt. Airy is also recognized for its historic architecture, beautiful landscaping, thriving commercial corridor and various cultural activities; and

WHEREAS, East Mt. Airy Neighbors are committed to promoting projects and public improvements that encourage positive growth and development in the community, and make East Mt. Airy a better place in which to live; and

WHEREAS, West Mt. Airy Neighbors are committed to preserving and enhancing the quality of life in its richly diverse urban neighborhood; now therefore

BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, That we hereby recognize and celebrate the 43rd Annual Mt. Airy Day.
