Recognizing and celebrating the 70th anniversary of the 1953 Baton Rouge Bus Boycott.

House Resolution 144 is a commemorative measure that officially recognizes the 70th anniversary of the 1953 Baton Rouge Bus Boycott in Louisiana. The resolution honors the historical significance of this event, which served as a precursor and blueprint for the later Montgomery Bus Boycott and the broader Civil Rights Movement. While the bill does not create new laws or allocate federal funding, it encourages Americans to learn about this specific chapter of history to better understand the events and figures that shaped national civil rights progress.
