Introduced on March 31, 2025 by Gwendolynne S. Moore
This measure allows Emancipation Hall at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center to be used for a ceremony to present Congressional Gold Medals to the “Six Triple Eight,” the Black women’s Army postal battalion from World War II. It is about hosting the event in that specific space so the honorees can be formally recognized. It does not create new programs or change daily life for most people, but it supports a public event honoring these veterans’ service and history .
