A resolution celebrating Black History Month.

Sponsored By: Senator Booker, Cory A. [D-NJ]

Passed Senate

Summary

Celebrating Black History Month and recognizing the contributions of African Americans. This resolution recounts the early involuntary arrival of Africans, centuries of enslavement, and ongoing vestiges of injustice in 2026. It highlights milestones like Negro History Week, Dr. Carter G. Woodson, the National Museum of African American History and Culture, and President Barack Obama. The text issues five nonbinding, aspirational statements that honor Black culture, encourage reflection and learning during February, and urge the nation to move forward "indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."
