This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony on August 10, 2024, to commemorate Slavery Remembrance Day. The resolution was introduced by Representative Al Green of Texas in June 2024. Any physical preparations for the ceremony must follow the conditions set by the Architect of the Capitol. This is a ceremonial measure that does not involve funding or create ongoing programs, but rather permits a specific historic commemoration event to take place in a Capitol facility.
