Designates July 18 of each year as "Sergeant William Harvey Carney Day" in New Jersey.

SJR 64 designates July 18 of each year as "Sergeant William Harvey Carney Day" in New Jersey to honor William Harvey Carney, the first African-American soldier awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The resolution commemorates his bravery during the 1863 Battle of Fort Wagner, where he carried the regimental flag under fire despite severe wounds, and recognizes the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry - the first official Black Union regiment - as pivotal in overcoming racial barriers in the military. This is a commemorative resolution with no new policy requirements or direct impacts on citizens or programs.
