Original Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution

# Original Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This resolution proposes establishing an official "Original Slavery Remembrance Day" to be observed nationally. If passed, it would create a designated day for Americans to commemorate and remember the history of slavery in the United States and its lasting impact on the nation. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The resolution would affect all Americans by establishing a federal observance day. However, it's important to note that the resolution itself would not create a federal holiday (meaning government offices and businesses would not automatically close).

Rather, it would formally recognize and encourage Americans to reflect on slavery's history and significance. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The proposal was introduced by Representative Al Green (D-TX) in the 119th Congress.
