H.Con.Res.39 - Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act.
This resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center on September 3, 2025, for a ceremony honoring the Harlem Hellfighters with Congressional Gold Medals. The medals were previously approved under the Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act, and this measure simply provides the formal permission needed to host the presentation event in that specific Capitol space. The Architect of the Capitol will oversee and set conditions for the physical setup and logistics of the ceremony. This resolution primarily affects congressional operations and the veterans, descendants, and historical advocates connected to the Harlem Hellfighters, a distinguished African American regiment from World War I. There is no funding allocated in this measure, as it deals solely with authorizing space usage for a single commemorative event.
