Honoring the legacy of the Harlem Renaissance, a cultural, social, and political movement in American history.

House Resolution 918 is a commemorative measure intended to formally recognize the historical and cultural significance of the Harlem Renaissance. The resolution honors the movement’s contributions to American art, literature, and music, specifically highlighting how it empowered African American intellectuals and creators to shape the nation's social and political landscape.

For everyday citizens, this bill serves as an official acknowledgment of a pivotal era in American history rather than a change to federal law or a mandate for new spending. Its primary impact is to preserve the legacy of the movement and encourage national appreciation for the lasting influence that Harlem Renaissance figures continue to have on modern American culture.
