H.Res. 962 is a resolution honoring Harriet Tubman's contributions to American history and her fight against slavery. The resolution acknowledges Tubman's escape from slavery, her work as a conductor on the Underground Railroad who helped approximately 70 enslaved people reach freedom, and her service during the Civil War as a scout, spy, and nurse for the Union Army. It specifically highlights her leadership of the Combahee River Raid, which led to the liberation of 700 enslaved people in South Carolina, as well as her post-war advocacy for human rights and women's suffrage. This is a commemorative resolution with no funding or programmatic requirements—it simply expresses the House's formal recognition of Tubman's historical significance and courage. The resolution was submitted by Representative Al Green of Texas on December 18, 2025, and referred to the Judiciary Committee.
