Bill > SRes790

This Resolution condemns the violent actions of White supremacist mobs in Atlanta, Georgia, in 1906, who attacked and killed dozens of Black Americans based on false media reports, and reaffirms the Senate's dedication to fighting White supremacy and racial injustice. The resolution acknowledges the historical context of lynching and its lasting impact on Black communities, noting that over 4,400 Black individuals were lynched across the United States between 1877 and 1950, with significant numbers in Georgia. It highlights the specific events of the 1906 Atlanta massacre, where a mob attacked Black residents, destroyed homes and businesses, and led to the displacement of the Black community, contributing to persistent wealth inequality. In response, the Senate condemns the mob's actions, honors the victims, supports a national day of remembrance for forced Black migrations, and pledges the Federal Government's commitment to combating White supremacy and seeking reconciliation for racial injustice.
