| A resolution celebrating Black History Month |
| Date Introduced: 02/16/06 |
| Bill Number: S.Res.380 |
Description: Senator Allard is a CO-SPONSOR of this legislation.
Calls on U.S. citizens to observe Black History Month.
Acknowledges the tragedies of slavery, lynching, and segregation and condemns them as an infringement on human liberty and equal opportunity.
Honors citizens who: (1) risked their lives in the Underground Railroad and in other efforts to assist fugitive slaves and other African Americans; and (2) stood beside African Americans in the fight for equal opportunity.
Reaffirms the Senate's commitment to the founding principles that all men are created equal and are endowed with certain inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Commits the Senate to addressing situations in which the African American community struggles with disparities in education, health care, and other areas where the federal government can help improve conditions for all citizens.
