Bill Summary
Urging the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation.
AI Summary
This concurrent resolution affirms that the United States has a long-overdue moral obligation to acknowledge the historical injustices faced by African Americans, starting with the arrival of the first slave ship over 400 years ago. The resolution calls for the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT), which would serve as a mechanism to address systemic racial inequities. The primary goals of this proposed commission would be to challenge and dismantle the deeply rooted belief in a hierarchy of human value, promote a sense of shared humanity across racial lines, and work towards permanently eliminating persistent racial disparities that have existed since the era of slavery. By creating such a commission, the resolution aims to provide a formal platform for national reflection, reconciliation, and meaningful progress in addressing the long-standing impacts of racial discrimination and systemic racism in the United States.
