Introduced November 6, 2025 by Lisa Blunt Rochester · Last progress November 6, 2025
Recognizes and honors the military service of Black Americans across U.S. wars, names many Black units and individuals, and acknowledges the racism and discrimination they faced during and after service. Notes related civil‑rights legal victories and persistent disparities in health and homelessness among Black veterans.
States that Congress recognizes the sacrifices and patriotism of Black veterans and urges the Department of Veterans Affairs to continue efforts to eliminate health and benefit disparities affecting minority veterans. The resolution is commemorative and requests continued VA attention rather than creating new funding or regulatory requirements.
