This joint resolution designates August 20th as an annual "Slavery Remembrance Day" to commemorate the lives of enslaved people and remember the horrors of slavery in the United States and worldwide. The resolution condemns slavery and its lasting effects, which the bill argues continue to impact descendants of enslaved people through systemic racism, mass incarceration, and other injustices. The measure provides historical context about slavery, including details about the Middle Passage, the experiences of enslaved people, the Underground Railroad, and figures like Harriet Tubman and Nat Turner, as well as the legacy of post-slavery systems like convict leasing. The resolution requests that the President issue a proclamation encouraging Americans to observe the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities. There is no federal funding required, and the designation would take effect once both the House and Senate pass the resolution and it becomes law.
