The resolution honors former Representative Ben McGee for his significant contributions to his community and the state of Arkansas. McGee served as a state representative for the thirty-fifth district from 1988 to 1998, making history as the first African American to hold this position since Reconstruction. He also broke barriers by becoming the first African American elected to the Marion School District's school board and the first African American Chair of the Board of Trustees at Arkansas State University. His leadership and courage during the Civil Rights Movement are highlighted as pivotal aspects of his legacy.

In recognition of his service, the resolution calls for the House of Representatives to formally acknowledge McGee's achievements and contributions. It concludes with a directive for the Chief Clerk of the House to present a copy of the resolution to him, celebrating his role as a pioneer in both education and politics within the state.
