I'd
also
like
to
acknowledge
all
of
the
awesome
women
who
work
in
the
mining
industry,
including
engineers,
geologists,
underground
operators,
educators,
surveyors
lobbyists,
drillers
and
so
many
others.
Their
expertise
is
extremely
beneficial
and
appreciated.
Thank
you.
So
much
and
thanks
to
our
mining
industry
in
our
great
state.
G
Thank
you,
mr
chair
today.
I
also
will
rise
in
support
of
mining
this
day
at
the
legislature
order
business
15.,
a
lot
of
people,
don't
remember,
the
modern
mining
actually
began
in
nevada
in
1849,
and
it
come
down
to
the
carson
and
down
into
douglas
county.
So
it's
been
a
long
time
that
mining
has
had
a
large
impact
on
this
state
for
over
hundreds
of
years,
though,
some
might
think
mining
is
strictly
a
rural
operation.
G
The
truth
there
is,
there
is
single
in
a
single
county
in
nevada,
there's
mining
operations
to
supply
the
chains,
either
business
or
through
mining
operations,
I'm
privileged
to
have
both
mining
and
businesses
that
support
the
mining
industry.
In
my
district,
my
colleagues
represent
both
rural
and
urban
districts
as
diverse
as
their
districts
seem.
They
have
one
thing
in
common
mining:
the
businesses
that
support
the
mining
industry.
G
I
point
out
two
examples:
cashman
equipment
and,
as
in
this
assembly,
district
41
barrick
north
american
headquarters
at
district
29.,
the
impact
nevada
mining
careers
extend
throughout
the
entire
state
of
nevada.
Please
join
me
in
acknowledge
the
impact
of
rural
mining
plays
in
the
state
of
nevada.
For
the
men
and
women
that
represent
nevada
mining,
I'm
sorry
I'm
having
a
hard
time
speaking
and
breathing
with
this
mask.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank.
H
Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
Well,
surprise,
I
rise
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
support
a
miami
dade
at
the
nevada
legislature
today
as
the
great
great
great
granddaughter
of
a
coal
miner
in
wales
who
then
moved
to
the
silver
mines
of
nevada.
I'm
proud
to
stand
here
today
in
support
of
mining
day
at
the
legislature.
Mining
is
a
statewide
employer
and
has
employees
in
all
42
of
our
legislative
districts.
Many
work
shifts
at
the
mines
and
then
they
return
home
to
their
families
in
the
reno
and
the
las
vegas
area
on
their
time
off.
H
My
district
is
the
home
to
many
mining
businesses,
but
the
impacts
of
mining
careers
extend
from
the
sparkle
of
the
sparks
marina
to
the
foot
of
the
ruby
mountains,
all
the
way
down
to
the
shining
las
vegas
strip.
So,
even
though
this
building
is
close
to
the
public,
please
join
me
today
in
acknowledging
the
hard-working
men
and
women
who
represent
and
work
in
the
mining
industry
in
nevada.
Thank
you.

While
it
is
believed
that
two
other
black
women
had
attended
college
mary,
jane
patterson
was
the
first
who
entered
and
graduated
from
the
four-year
gentlemen's
course
that
included
studies
in
latin
greek
and
mathematics,
resulting
in
a
traditional
bachelor's
of
arts
degree
born
to
enslaved
parents.
She
was
the
first
african-american
woman
to
receive
a
bachelor's
degree
when
she
graduated
in
1862
upon
receiving
her
degree.
I
She
was
appointed
principal
in
that
role.
She
established
a
teacher
training
that
set
high
consistent
standards.
She
worked
with
colleague,
mary
church
terrell,
an
activist
for
civil
rights
and
women's
suffrage,
to
form
the
colored
women's
league.
The
organization
would
later
become
the
national
association
of
colored
women.
The
league
focused
on
training
kindergarten
teachers
and
providing
industrial
and
homemaking
skills
for
working
class
women.
I
Ms
patterson
taught
until
she
died
in
1894
at
only
54
years
old
mary
church
tyrell,
another
overland
alum
wrote
in
the
journal
of
negro
history.
She
was
a
woman
with
a
strong
forceful
personality
and
showed
tremendous
power
for
good
in
establishing
high
intellectual
standards
in
the
public
schools.
Thoroughness
was
one
of
ms
patterson's
most
striking
characteristics.
As
a
teacher,
she
was
a
quick
alert,
vivacious
worker
today
in
2021.
I
Please
join
me
as
we
honor
ms
patterson,
as
the
first
of
millions
of
african-american
women
who
would
graduate
from
college
for
the
trail
she
blazed
lit
the
path
for
other
african-american
women
who
would
graduate
from
college
who
would
enter
the
teaching
profession
or
any
other
profession
or
who
would
go
on
to
be
vice.
