Introduced on February 14, 2025 by Byron Donalds
This resolution renames the House of Representatives Press Gallery in the U.S. Capitol as the “Frederick Douglass Press Gallery” . It applies to rooms H‑315 through H‑319, which are workspaces used by journalists who cover the House . The change is honorary and symbolic, recognizing Frederick Douglass and his legacy as a writer, speaker, and advocate for freedom and equality . It does not create new programs or impose new rules; it simply updates the official name used for these press facilities . The people most directly affected are reporters and media organizations that use the gallery, as well as House staff who manage press operations and signage for the space . No costs or funding changes are stated in the text .
