I rise in support of this legislation. Last year people around the world celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of Kahlil Gibran. the artist and writer. whose work touched the hearts and minds of so many. Kahlil Gibran. born in Lebanon. emigrated to America with his family at age 12. By his untimely death at age 48 he had produced a body of work that conveyed a message of nonpartisan. nonsectarian brotherhood. compassion. and justice which has been a source of hope and vision for people of all nations. Passage of House Joint Resolution 580 would provide the authority to set in motion events that would establish a living memorial commemorating the life and work of this universally revered artist. poet. writer. and philosopher.
