This resolution condemns the violent massacre that occurred in New Orleans on July 30, 1866, when a white supremacist mob attacked Black Americans and convention delegates who were advocating for voting rights, killing at least 38 people and wounding 146 others. The resolution acknowledges that this brutal attack on unarmed Black marchers and supporters of voting rights expansion directly influenced Congress to pass the Reconstruction Acts and the 14th and 15th Amendments, which became foundational to American democracy. The House declares its commitment to combating white supremacy, honoring the victims, and recognizing that the goals of inclusive voting rights championed by those who gathered in 1866 remain unfinished work. The resolution also expresses support for establishing a national day of remembrance for victims of violence perpetrated against Black Americans attempting to exercise their voting rights throughout American history.
