James Fisher, Jr. Celebration of Life Recognition Resolution of 2024

This ceremonial resolution honors the life and contributions of Mr. James Fisher Jr., a veteran and federal employee who passed away in January 2024. The bill formally recognizes his decades of work advocating for racial justice, specifically his efforts to highlight the historical displacement of Black families from Broad Branch Road and his role in renaming Lafayette-Pointer Park. It celebrates his legacy as a community leader who testified before local government bodies to preserve the history of his ancestors and promote awareness of past injustices. The measure does not create new laws or funding but serves to officially acknowledge his impact on the District of Columbia's heritage.
