Authorizing the use of Emancipation Hall in the Capitol Visitor Center for a ceremony to present the Congressional Gold Medals awarded under the Harlem Hellfighters Congressional Gold Medal Act.

This measure allows Emancipation Hall at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center to be used for a ceremony that presents Congressional Gold Medals honoring the Harlem Hellfighters, a famed World War I unit. It’s a one-time permission to hold the event in that space and does not change any programs or create new funding. It simply enables the Capitol to host the ceremony that recognizes these soldiers’ service and bravery .

For most people, this won’t change day-to-day life. It’s a formal, public recognition of the Harlem Hellfighters’ legacy, held in a prominent space at the Capitol .
