To direct the Architect of the Capitol to enter into a contract to revise the statue commemorating women's suffrage located in the rotunda of the United States Capitol to include a likeness of Sojourner Truth.
Summary
H.R. 937 would require the Architect of the Capitol to modify the "Portrait Monument," a marble statue in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda that honors the women’s suffrage movement. The bill directs that the monument be revised to include a likeness of Sojourner Truth, an influential African American abolitionist and women's rights activist. If enacted, this change would ensure that the official memorial more accurately reflects the diverse leadership and historical contributions of women who fought for the right to vote.
