Expressing support for the designation of August 22, 2022, as national "Chuck Brown Day", and honoring his contributions to music and to the District of Columbia.

HRES 1324 is a symbolic House resolution honoring Chuck Brown, the "Godfather of Go-Go," by supporting the designation of August 22, 2022 (his birthday) as "Chuck Brown Day." It recognizes his contributions to music - specifically developing the go-go genre - and his lifelong connection to the District of Columbia, where he lived, performed, and advocated for DC statehood. The resolution does not create new laws or policies; it is purely commemorative, citing his musical legacy, 22 studio albums, and influence on artists like Duke Ellington and Marvin Gaye. Introduced by DC Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, it expresses the House’s support for celebrating Brown’s cultural impact on the District.
