This concurrent resolution urges the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation to address the legacy of systemic oppression in the nation. It highlights over 400 years of racial injustice, beginning with chattel slavery and continuing through various discriminatory government actions against African Americans and other people of color. These actions, such as Federal Housing Administration policies, exclusions from Social Security, discrimination in the GI Bill, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and land policies affecting Native Americans, have created profound and persistent racial inequities. The resolution asserts that these historical injustices have led to a significant racial wealth gap and disparities in education, health, and the justice system. The proposed commission would serve to properly acknowledge and memorialize these egregious injustices. Its core objectives are to jettison the belief in a hierarchy of human value, embrace common humanity, and act as a catalyst for permanently eliminating racial inequities, complementing existing efforts for reparations.
