Sponsored By: Representative Pressley, Ayanna [D-MA-7]

Introduced

Summary

Black history museums and cultural institutions would be recognized as essential pillars of America’s history and culture. The resolution frames the United States' 250th anniversary as a moment to center Black history and asks federal partners and the public to support that effort.

Show full summary
  • Black history museums and cultural institutions: The text highlights their role in preserving records and community-based narratives and notes there are over 500 local institutions.
  • Local economies and jobs: It says these institutions educate millions each year and generate billions in economic activity while supporting hundreds of thousands of jobs through tourism and events.
  • Federal agencies and the Semiquincentennial Commission: The resolution urges the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Endowment for the Arts, the Institute of Museum and Library Services, and the National Park Service to ensure strong support and partnerships.
  • Families and the public: It calls on Americans to visit, support, and use these museums to learn, confront efforts to erase Black history, and join 250th events that honor both struggle and joy.
