## Summary

**Commemorating Black History Month and highlighting the 2025 theme "African Americans and Labor"**. This resolution would recognize Black Americans' achievements, encourage continued public celebration, and frame 2025 around labor's central role from slavery through sharecropping, convict leasing, the Great Migration, union organizing, and the civil rights movement while citing an estimated $5.9 trillion valuation of enslaved labor in 2016 dollars, noting more than 10,000,000 lives lost to slavery, and calling out modern disparities such as a 2023 median weekly pay of $878 for Black workers versus $1,059 for other workers and a 6.3% unemployment rate for Black men in January 2025.
