A BILL
To authorize the Homeward Bound Foundation to establish
the Middle Passage National Monument.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representa-
tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. FINDINGS.
The Congress finds the following:
(1) From the late 1400’s to the late 1800’s,
there existed a slave trade in which millions of peo-
a Federal district court of competent jurisdiction, however
any matter discussed or material presented during medi-
ation shall not be used in any subsequent local, State, or
Federal administrative or court proceeding. The confiden-
tial provisions of any internal conflict management pro-
gram or system or agreement to mediations shall be im-
mune from attack by any third party.
Æ
ple were transported from Africa to the Americas,
including South America, Central America, the Car-
ibbean, and North America.
(2) The journey across the Atlantic Ocean from
West Africa to the slave markets of the Americas
lasted from a few weeks to several months, and is
commonly referred to as the ‘‘Middle Passage’’.
(3) Many of the slaves transported across the
Middle Passage became afflicted with diseases, in-
cluding smallpox, eye infections, gastrointestinal dis-
orders, and body sores.
(4) Approximately 10 to 20 percent of the
slaves transported across the Middle Passage died
during the journey.
(5) Many of these slaves committed suicide by
refusing to eat or by drowning themselves.
(6) Because slave ship captains had an incen-
tive to deliver only salable men and women to the
slave markets, these captains sometimes committed
mass murders of Africans at sea.

Bound Foundation (a nonprofit corporation established

tween the 15th and 19th centuries. The monument shall
be known as the ‘‘Middle Passage National Monument’’.
(b) COMPLIANCE WITH STANDARDS FOR COMMEMO-
RATIVE WORKS.—The establishment of the monument
shall be carried out in accordance with the Commemora-
tive Works Act (40 U.S.C. 1001 et seq.).
(c) PAYMENT
OF
EXPENSES.—The Homeward
Bound Foundation shall be solely responsible for accept-
ance of contributions for, and payment of the expenses
of, the establishment of the monument. No Federal funds
may be used to pay any expense of the establishment of
the monument.
