Recognizing the desegregation efforts at Girard College in Philadelphia, and the leaders involved in African-American integration and civil rights expansion.

Recognition of Girard College's desegregation would honor the legal fights and civic leadership that ended race-based admissions and spotlight efforts to preserve diversity in higher education. It cites Stephen Girard's 1848 will limiting admission to "poor white male orphans, ages six to ten," the legal challenges led by Raymond Pace Alexander, NAACP protests and leadership by Cecil B. Moore, a 1957 U.S. Supreme Court decision, a 1968 appeals ruling ordering admission of Black students, and Temple University's exhibit documenting these milestones.
