Full title

Recognizing the historic abolitionist events surrounding the Pearl, and honoring its legacy in American history.

Key: what the circles and colors mean

Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:

IntroducedPassed one chamberPassed both chambersBecame law (gold)Resolution agreed to (full, dark)Failed or vetoed (gray)

Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.

Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.

Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

No cosponsors.

This resolution honors the legacy of those who furthered freedom in the Pearl Incident and recognizes their historical importance. (On April 15, 1848, 77 slaves attempted to flee the District of Columbia and Alexandria, Virginia, on the ship the Pearl .)
