Senator Hiram Revels and Fannie Lou Hamer; request joint committee on Library of Congress to approve replacement of current statues with statues of.
This bill is a concurrent resolution that asks the Library of Congress to replace two existing statues in the U.S. Capitol's National Statuary Hall Collection with new ones honoring Senator Hiram Revels and civil rights leader Fannie Lou Hamer. Currently, Mississippi's contribution to the collection features statues of Jefferson Davis and James Zachariah George, which the bill proposes to remove to better reflect the state's modern values. The resolution does not change any laws or budgets but serves as a formal request to update the historical figures represented in the Capitol. If approved, the state of Mississippi would officially swap its current statues for these new ones to celebrate the achievements of Revels and Hamer.
