Ch. 442 2005 LAWS OF MARYLAND
WHEREAS, After being appointed to the office of United States Solicitor General
in 1965, Thurgood Marshall represented and won more cases before the United States
Supreme Court than any other American; and
WHEREAS, Thurgood Marshall became the first African American justice to
serve on the United States Supreme Court when he was appointed to the highest court
in the land in 1967; and
WHEREAS, Throughout his life. Justice Marshall established a record of
supporting the voiceless American and he developed a profound sensitivity to injustice
by way of the crucible of racial discrimination in this country and he leaves a legacy
that expands that early sensitivity to include all of America's voiceless; and
WHEREAS, It is important to be mindful that there are still voiceless people who
deserve a voice in America, regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender,
age, marital status, sexual orientation, or disability; and
WHEREAS, It is important to recognize the selfless and heroic acts of individuals
who have fought against injustice to all people, who have labored to give voiceless
people a voice, and who leave a powerful legacy of social change, as Thurgood
Marshall did so admirably; and
WHEREAS, Renaming the Baltimore-Washington International Airport to
include Thurgood Marshall's name would serve as a fitting tribute to a great citizen of
Maryland and would assist in continuing to give him the recognition he deserves for
his life achievements, particularly in his home state; and
WHEREAS, Baltimore-Washington International Airport is appropriate because
its name, like the area it serves, the Baltimore/Washington corridor, is nationally and
world-renowned, signifying both the stature and economic power of our great State of
Maryland; and
WHEREAS, The name, "Baltimore-Washington International Airport", is
further enhanced by adding the name "Thurgood Marshall", also nationally and
world-renowned, by linking Baltimore, his birthplace and the city he loved, to
Washington, D.C., a city carved from the State of Maryland, our nation's capital, and
the city where Justice Marshall earned his greatest fame, first as a litigator in Brown
v. Board of Education and later as a Justice of the United States Supreme Court; now,
therefore,
SECTION 1. BE IT ENACTED BY THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF
MARYLAND, That the Laws of Maryland read as follows:
Article 2B - Alcoholic Beverages
8-202.
(g) (1) There is an airport concessionaire license.
(2) (i) An individual, association of individuals, or a corporation which
is a lessee, sublessee, or a concessionaire at any airport, without further residential,
