Whereas millions of Africans and their descendants were Javed in the United States and the 13 American colo- from 1619 through 1865; Whereas slavery in America resembled no other form of invol- untary servitude known in history, as A ivans were eap- tured and sold at auction like inanimate objects or ani- mals;2 Whereas Africans foreed into slavery were brutalized, humili- ated, dehumanized, and subjected to the indignity of being stripped of their names and heritages Whereas enslaved families were torn apart after having been sold separately from one anothers Whereas the sys rem of slavery and the visceral racism against persons of Afriean descent upon which it depended be- came entrenched in the Nation’s social fabric; Whereas slavery was not offi of the 13th Amendment to the United States Cons tion in 1865 after the end of the Civil War, which was ‘ially abolished until the pas fought over the slavery issue; Whereas after eman ation from 246 y ‘ars of slavery, Afvi- can-Amerieans soon saw the fleeting political, social, and economie gains they made during Reconstruction evis- cerated hy virulent raci m, lynchings, disenfranchisement, Black Codes, and racial segregation laws that imposed a rigid system of officially sanctioned racial segregation in virtually all areas of lif Whereas the system of de jure racial segregation known as “Jim Crow,” whieh arose in certain parts of the Nation following the Civil War to create separate and unequal societies for whites and African-Ameri was a direct ns, result of the racism against persons of African descent engendered by slavery Whereas the system of Jim Crow laws officially existed into the 1960's— America—until Congress took action to end it, but the century after the official end of slavery in vestiges of Jim Crow continue to this day; Whereas African-Americans continue to suffer from the con- sequences of slavery and Jim Crow—long after both sys- *HRES 194 THtems were formally abolished—through enormous damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including the loss of human dignity and liberty, the frustration of careers and professional live of income and the long-term lo and opportuni Whereas the story of the enslavement and de jure segregation of Afric n-Americans and the dehumanizing at committed against them should not be purged from or minimiged in the telling of American history; Whereas on July 8, 2003, during a t Pr *s continuing legaey in American life ip to Goree Island, Se egal, a former slave port esident George W.

The slavery or with segregat . «one of the greatest crimes of history y did not end with ial bigotry fed by slav m. And many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other time . But however long the journey, our destiny all”; is set: liberty and jus Whereas President Bill Clinton also acknowledged the deep- seated problems caused by the continuing legacy of rac- ism against African-Amerieans that began with slavery when he initiated a national dialogue about race; Wherea first step in the process of r a genuine apology is an important and necessary ‘ial reconciliation; Whereas an apology for centuries of brutal dehumanization and injustices cannot erase the past, but confession of the wrongs committed can speed racial healing and ree- onciliation and help Americans confront the ghosts of their pasts sHRES 194 TH4 Whereas the legislature of the Commonwealth of Virginia has recently taken the lead in adopting a resolution officially express ng appropriate remorse for slavery and other State legislatur nd are considering similar resolutions Whereas it is important for this country, which legally reco; nized slavery through its Constitution and its laws, to for make a formal apol and for its succes Jim Crow, so that it can move forward and seek ree- oneiliation, justice, and harmony for all of its citizen: Now, therefore, be it 1 Resolved, That the House of Representatives— 2 (1) acknowledges the fundamental injustice, 3 cruelty, brutality, and inhumanity of slavery and 4 Jim Crow; 5 (2) apologizes to African-Americans on behalf 6 of the people of the United States, for the wrongs as committed against them and their ancestors who 8 suffered under slavery and Jim Crow; and 9 (3) expresses its commitment to rectify the lin- 10 gering consequences of the misdeeds committed i against Afriean-Americans under slavery and Jim 12 Crow and to stop the occurrence of human rights 13 violations in the future. sHRES 194 1H
