This resolution officially recognizes 2025 as the "Vicksburg Bicentennial" to celebrate the 200th anniversary of Vicksburg, Mississippi's incorporation on January 29, 1825. The measure honors the city's significant role in American history, particularly during the Civil War when the 47-day Siege of Vicksburg in 1863 marked a turning point in the conflict. The resolution highlights Vicksburg's diverse cultural contributions, from being home to the first Coca-Cola bottling in 1894 to hosting major Civil War historical sites that attract roughly 2 million visitors annually. The bill does not allocate any funding and simply serves as a formal congressional acknowledgment of the city's historical importance and ongoing bicentennial celebration throughout 2025.
