 Mr. Crawford (for himself, Mr. Hill of Arkansas, Mr. Womack, and Mr.

                               RESOLUTION


 
      Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Elaine massacre.

Whereas between September 30 and October 1, 1919, an unknown number of African 
        Americans were murdered in a racially motivated riot;
Whereas the violence erupted when the unionization of sharecroppers was falsely 
        portrayed as a Black insurrection against White landowners;
Whereas estimates range between 100 to 240 victims, making the massacre one of 
        the worst instances of mass racial violence in United States history;
Whereas official investigations were only made into the deaths of 5 White people 
        who were also killed in the violence;
Whereas those investigations resulted in the prosecution of 122 African 
        Americans; and
Whereas subsequent litigation resulted in the historic United States Supreme 
        Court decision of Moore et al. v. Dempsey in 1923, the first Supreme 
        Court case regarding the treatment of African Americans in State 
        criminal justice systems, setting a precedent for future review of State 
        criminal convictions: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) honors the lives and legacies of the unknown number of 
        African Americans who were murdered in Phillips County, 
        Arkansas, 100 years ago;
            (2) expresses its deepest sympathies to the families of the 
        victims; and
            (3) recognizes the role the massacre played in 
        strengthening United States citizens' due process rights 
        through Moore v. Dempsey, which set a precedent for the Supreme 
        Court's subsequent review of State criminal trials and their 
        compliance with the Bill of Rights.

Whereas it is in the public interest for citizens, civic leaders, and children 
        of the United States to gain knowledge of, and to maintain a progressive

Whereas the year the week of May 19 through 25, 2019, marks the 59th annual

 Commending Alice Allison Dunnigan for her barrier-breaking career in 
                              journalism.

Whereas Alice Allison Dunnigan was born on April 27, 1906, in Russellville, 
        Kentucky, where she overcame poverty, segregation, and sexism in order 
        to break barriers for African-American women throughout the country;
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan served as Washington Bureau Chief of the Associated Negro 
        Press from 1947 to 1961, publishing stories in over 110 African-American 
        newspapers throughout the country, informing people of the ways in which 
        government decisions impacted their lives and forcing decisionmakers to 
        address key issues impacting minority communities;
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan became the first African-American woman accredited to cover 
        the White House, Congress, Department of State, and Supreme Court as a 
        result of her proven journalism skills and hard-hitting reporting style;
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan was one of only three African Americans and one of two 
        women in the press corps that fully covered President Harry S. Truman's 
        1948 Presidential campaign;
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan's commitment to truth, honesty, and equality served as the 
        basis for her employment as an education consultant to the President's 
        Committee on Equal Employment Opportunity under the Kennedy 
        administration, where she fought to ensure that all Americans had equal 
        employment rights regardless of age, race, or sex;
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan was a member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated; and
Whereas Ms. Dunnigan demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to journalism, the 
        truth, and equality for all Americans: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives commends Alice Allison 
Dunnigan for her barrier-breaking career in journalism.

                               RESOLUTION


 
     Recognizing the value and importance of the Electoral College.

Whereas the framers of the Constitution of the United States established the 
        Electoral College in article II, section 1 of the Constitution, 
        America's founding document;
Whereas the Electoral College serves as a formal body which elects the President 
        and Vice President of the United States, and each State has a number of 
        electors based on the State's number of Representatives and Senators;
Whereas the Electoral College is unique to our Federal republic and provides 
        representation to an American population comprised of different 
        cultures, religions, and economic backgrounds;
Whereas the United States is not a homogeneous Nation, but historically a Nation 
        of immigrants requiring a unique electoral structure like the Electoral 
        College; and
Whereas the Electoral College encourages the smooth transition of power and 
        maintains our American system of government that protects against the 
        tyranny of the majority: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) recognizes that the Electoral College preserves the 
        concept of federalism;
            (2) recognizes that the Electoral College is uniquely 
        American; and
            (3) recognizes that the Electoral College is vital to the 
        continued preservation of our government.

Urging the people of the United States to observe the month of October
