This resolution expresses support for designating September 23, 2026, as "Mary Church Terrell Day" to honor her legacy in the civil rights and women's rights movements. It calls on Congress to formally recognize her contributions, including her role as a founder of the NAACP, her leadership in the National Association of Colored Women, and her activism against racial segregation in Washington, D.C. The bill highlights specific historical actions, such as her participation in antilynching campaigns and her successful legal challenge that enforced desegregation laws at local restaurants.

This House resolution formally recognizes the 25th pastoral anniversary of Bishop C.T. Wells and the ongoing ministry of Emmanuel Church in Portland, Oregon. It highlights his two decades of leadership as a pastor and his broader community work focused on affordable housing, economic opportunity, and early childhood education. The bill also honors the staff, volunteers, and family members who have supported these efforts over the past quarter-century.

This bill designates the facility of the United States Postal Service located at 501 West Memorial Drive in Muncie, Indiana, as the "Officer Blake A. Reynolds Post Office Building".

This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that the United States Postal Service should issue a commemorative postage stamp honoring Lewis Howard Latimer, an African-American scientist and inventor who lived from 1848 to 1928. The bill highlights his significant contributions to technology, including improvements to carbon filament manufacturing for light bulbs and the development of early air conditioning systems. It also recognizes his role as a social justice advocate and his collaboration with prominent inventors such as Thomas Edison and Alexander Graham Bell. The resolution specifically requests that the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee recommend this stamp to the Postmaster General in commemoration of the 178th anniversary of Latimer's birth.

Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
