After the Proclamation of Vaisakhi at the Texas State Capitol, a presentation was done followed by a press conference. This was historic as it was the first time Sikhs were guests who were honored in such a way. Sikhs were invited to the gallery to view the historic event in person, they saw the reading of the Proclamation, the importance of Vaisakhi and were subsequently recognized with a standing ovation from the Legislature.
This builds momentum and creates outreach which paves the way for a more robust and vibrant future for our children. This creates documentation in regards to the distinct and sovereign principles of the Sikh faith.
A Director of UNITED SIKHS thanked the people who assisted, participated and worked to get this recognition accomplished.
Community members from across Texas including Dallas, Houston, Austin and San Antonio participated.
