Councilmember Bessie Adams read a proclamation recognizing the life and public service of Lee Alcorn, noting his leadership as founder and president of the Grand Prairie NAACP chapter, service on the city council and induction into the National Voting Rights Museum in Selma, Alabama.
"Now, therefore, I Ron Jensen, on behalf of the city council and the citizens of Grand Prairie, Texas, do hereby proclaim 08/18/2026 as Lee Alcorn Day," the proclamation read, calling on residents to "honor his memory by embracing his spirit in service, generosity, and commitment to community."
