H.Res. 215 · 117th Congress

Recognizing the forthcoming centennial of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre.

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 117th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in House · Mar 10, 2021

This resolution recognizes the forthcoming centennial of the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921.

The resolution

  • acknowledges the historical significance of this event as one of the largest single instances of state-sanctioned violence against Black people in American history;
  • honors the lives and legacies of the estimated 300 Black individuals who were killed during the massacre and the nearly 9,000 who were left homeless and penniless;
  • condemns efforts to cover up the truth and shield the white community, especially government officials, from accountability;
  • condemns the continued legacy of racism and white supremacy against Black people in the United States, particularly in the form of police brutality;
  • encourages education about the massacre, the history of white supremacy that fueled the massacre, and subsequent attempts to deny or cover up the massacre, in all elementary and secondary education settings and in institutions of higher education; and
  • recognizes the commitment of Congress to acknowledge and learn from the history of racism and racial violence to reverse the legacy of white supremacy and fight for racial justice.
