HR 116 Alabama House · 2025 Regular Session

Eliza Jane Manuel, honored

This is a commemorative resolution (HR 116), not a legislative bill with policy changes. It formally commends Eliza Jane Manuel for her role in the Civil Rights Movement, specifically recognizing her contributions during the 1963-1965 voting rights marches in Selma, Alabama. The resolution honors her work at Brown Chapel (including meal preparation for marchers) and her community service, linking her efforts to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. It will be presented at the Fourth Annual Foot Soldiers Celebration, symbolically acknowledging her as a "formidable force" in securing voting rights. No new laws, funding, or direct effects on constituents are created.
