## Summary

**Recognition of the Rock Springs Chinese Massacre of 1885** is the bill's core aim. The measure would honor victims, condemn the racist mob violence that killed at least 28 Chinese miners, and encourage education and preservation of the site. - Descendants and Asian American communities would receive formal recognition and condemnation of the violence, and the resolution notes that the U.S. Government reimbursed the Chinese government for property losses but did not compensate victims or their families. - Students and educators would be encouraged to teach the massacre, its causes, the racial ideology that fueled it, and historical attempts to erase or distort the event. - Historians, archaeologists, and preservationists would be urged to document the site, conduct surveys and excavations, and consider the location for federal historic recognition as recommended in the 2019 Transcontinental Railroad Study. - The measure would condemn authorities' failure to protect Chinese residents and not hold perpetrators accountable, and it would call on Congress to acknowledge this history and work toward racial justice.
