Honoring the 50th anniversary of Alligator Records.

House Resolution 443 is a commemorative measure that recognizes the 50th anniversary of Alligator Records, an independent Chicago-based record label specializing in blues music. The resolution celebrates the label’s contributions to the American cultural landscape and its role in documenting the history of Chicago blues. Additionally, it encourages the federal government to support the preservation and advancement of blues music as a significant American art form. While the resolution honors a specific business and musical genre, it does not create new laws, provide funding, or impose regulations on citizens.
