Resolution No. 14 commemorates the 90th anniversary of Black Sunday, a significant event during the Dust Bowl of the 1930s that had a devastating impact on Oklahoma's land and people. The resolution highlights the commitment of Oklahoma to soil conservation following this disaster, noting that the state has become a national leader in conservation efforts. It emphasizes the collaborative work between local conservation districts, the Oklahoma Conservation Commission, and the federal Natural Resources Conservation Service in implementing effective land management practices over the past nine decades.

The resolution serves as a reminder to Oklahomans about the ongoing importance of protecting and conserving natural resources, including soil and water. By recognizing this anniversary on April 14, 2025, the Oklahoma Senate aims to reinforce the significance of sustainable practices and the collective responsibility to safeguard the environment for future generations.
