Bill Summary
Recognizing the historical significance of the Clotilda, condemning the United States role in the Atlantic slave trade, and acknowledging its lasting impact on African Americans.
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the historical significance of the Clotilda, the last known ship to illegally bring enslaved Africans to the United States in 1860, and acknowledges the enduring harm caused by the transatlantic slave trade, which forcibly removed millions of Africans and inflicted intergenerational trauma. It condemns the role of the United States government and its institutions in enabling and sustaining this trade, affirms the cultural and historical importance of communities like Africatown founded by the descendants of the Clotilda's captives, and encourages the creation of a memorial in the U.S. Capitol Grounds to honor the victims of the slave trade.
