GovInfo lists H.J. Res. 113 in the 119th Congress, sponsored by Al Green of Texas, titled “Original Slavery Remembrance Day Resolution,” with the full title “Designating a ‘Slavery Remembrance Day’ on August 20.” The last listed action on August 15, 2025 was submission and referral to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
Assessments
The promised event was scheduled for August 22, 2026, with Al Green listed as host and slated to provide the legislative update, but as of the August 21, 2026 refresh date it had not yet occurred and therefore cannot be verified as delivered. Green also had active related federal legislation, H.J. Res. 113, introduced and referred in the same congressional term, supporting ongoing effort but not completion of the hosting/update promise yet.
