Bill > HCRes22

This concurrent resolution authorizes the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony on April 29, 2025, to present Congressional Gold Medals to the "Six Triple Eight" battalion, a segregated, all-Black Women's Army Corps unit that served critically important postal and logistics roles during World War II. The resolution specifies that the physical preparations for the ceremony will be managed by the Architect of the Capitol, who will determine the specific conditions and arrangements for the event. The "Six Triple Eight" Congressional Gold Medal Act of 2021 (Public Law 117-97) provides the underlying legislative authorization for recognizing these women's military service, and this resolution facilitates a formal ceremony to honor their contributions by allowing the use of a significant symbolic space in the U.S. Capitol complex.
