Urging the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation.
HCONRES 37 is a non-binding congressional resolution urging the President to establish a U.S. Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation. The resolution does not create the commission itself but calls for its formation to acknowledge historical racial injustices (like discriminatory housing policies, the Chinese Exclusion Act, and forced Native American boarding schools) and catalyze efforts to eliminate racial inequities. The commission would focus on dismantling the "belief in a hierarchy of human value" and advancing racial healing, complementing ongoing efforts like H.R. 40 (the reparations study bill). It directly affects federal leadership (via the President) and aims to guide national policy, though it has no legal force.
