## Summary

**Would honor John Brown’s role as a determined opponent of slavery and as a catalyst for abolition.** The bill’s preamble recounts his actions in Bleeding Kansas and the Harpers Ferry raid and describes Harpers Ferry as a watershed event that accelerated national debate over slavery and the march toward emancipation. The operative text would give the measure a short title, formally acknowledge Brown’s sacrifice, and encourage Americans to reflect on the Nation’s complex history and its commitment to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
