Expressing the sense of the Congress that a model curriculum designed
to educate elementary and secondary school-aged children about the
Irish famine should be developed.
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
SEPTEMBER 27, 1996
Mr. MENENDEZ (for himself, Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN, Mr. GILMAN, Mr.
TORRICELLI, Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey, Mr. PALLONE, Mr. ZIMMER, Mr.
MARTINI, Mr. SMITH of New Jersey, Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey, and
Mr. ANDREWS) submitted the following concurrent resolution; which was
referred to the Committee on Economic and Educational Opportunities
CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the Congress that a model curricu-
lum designed to educate elementary and secondary
school-aged children about the Irish famine should be
developed.
Whereas, in 1845, the potato was the staple crop and basic
nourishment and sustenance of the people of Ireland;
Whereas a potato blight destroyed most of the potato crop in
Ireland between 1845 and 1850;
Whereas the famine brought about by the potato blight led
to mass starvation over the whole of Ireland and caused
the death of more than 1,000,000 of the men, women,
and children of Ireland;
•HCON 226 IH
Whereas those in the British government responsible for Irish
domestic policy were, for varying reasons, consciously in-
different toward the mass starvation of the Irish people,
and actively exported the Irish grain crop which could
have provided sufficient food for the starving Irish popu-
lation;
Whereas, after visiting Ireland in 1845, the African-American
abolitionist Frederick Douglass wrote that the people of
Ireland ‘‘are in the same degradation as the American
slaves’’;
Whereas many people in Britain, most notably Quakers, were
sympathetic and generous toward the people of Ireland
during the famine and organized extensive relief efforts
for the starving masses;
Whereas the elongation of the potato blight and the lack of
aid led to the mass emigration of more than 1,000,000
of the Irish people to the United States during the years
of the famine;
Whereas these immigrants and their descendants have made
and continue to make profound and lasting contributions
to the culture and history of the United States; and
Whereas children in the United States should be educated
about the famine in Ireland and its effects: Now, there-
fore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate
concurring), That it is the sense of the Congress that the
Department of Education should develop a model curricu-
lum designed to educate elementary and secondary school-
aged children about the Irish famine and its effects, and
•HCON 226 IH
that this model curriculum should be readily available to
educational institutions and the public.
