A concurrent resolution urging the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation.
Sponsored By: Senator Booker, Cory A. [D-NJ]
Introduced
Summary
Create a U.S. Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation that would study and confront more than four centuries of federal and local policies — starting with the 1619 arrival of enslaved Africans — that the resolution links to persistent racial gaps in education, health, housing, income, and justice.
Show full summary
- Descendants of enslaved Africans and communities of color would get formal study and acknowledgment of historical harms, plus recommendations linking that history to current gaps in education, health, homeownership, wages, and incarceration.
- Native American, Native Hawaiian, and territorial communities would see focused attention on land dispossession, Indian boarding school policy, disenfranchisement, and the consequences of annexation and colonial governance.
- Veterans and workers would be examined through the lens of past federal programs that enabled racial exclusion, including discriminatory administration of the GI Bill, early Social Security exclusions, and labor policies.
- The resolution frames the commission as a truth-seeking model to catalyze healing, complement ongoing reparations studies, and recommend steps to "discard the belief in a hierarchy of human value," embrace common humanity, and reduce persistent racial inequities.
