H. Res.194

In the House of Representatiaes, tf. ,S.,

July 29, 2008.
Whereas millions of Afticans and their descendants were
enslaved in the United States and the 13 American colo-
nies from 1619 through 1865;

Whereas slarrery in Ameriea resembled no other forrn of invol-

untary servitude known in history, as Afticans were cap-
tured and sold at auetion Iike inanimate objeets or ani-
mals;

Whereas Africans forced into slavery were brutalized, humili-

ated, dehumanized, and subjected to the indignity of
being stripped of their names and heritage;
Whereas enslaved families were tom apaft after having been
sold separately from one another;

Whereas the system of slavery and the viseeral racism against

persons of African deseent upon which it depended be-
came entrenched in the Nation's social fabric;

Whereas slavery was not offieially abolished until the passege

of the L3th Amendment to the United States Constitu-
tion in 1865 after the end of the Civil War;
Whereas after emancipation from 246 yearc of slavery, Afri-
can-Amerieans soon saw the fleeting political, social, and
economie gains they made duiing Reconstruetion evis-
eerated by vimlent racism, lynchings, disenfranehisement,
 2

Black Codes, and raeial segregation laws that imposed a

rigid system of officially sanetioned racial segregation in
virtually all areas of life;
Whereas the system ofjure racial segregation known as
de
"Jim Crow," which arose in certain parts of the Nation
following the Civil War to create separate and unequal
societies for whites and Aftiean-A.rneric&ns, was a direct
result of the racism against persons of African descent
engendered by slavery;

Whereas a century after the offrcial end of slavery in Amer-

ica, Federal action was required during the 1960s to
eliminate the dejure and defacto sptem of Jim Crow
throughout parts of the Nation, though its vestiges still
linger to this day;
Whereas Aftiean-Americans continue to suffer from the com-
plex interplay between slavery and Jim Crow-long after
both systems were formally abolished-through enorrnous
damage and loss, both tangible and intangible, including
the loss of human dignity, the frustration of careers and
professional lives, and the long-terrn loss of ineome and
opportunity;
Whereas the story of the enslavement and de jure segregation
of African-Americans and the dehumanizing atrocities
cornmitted against them should not be purged from or
minimized in the telling of American history;
Whereas on July 8, 2003, during a trip to Goree Island, Sen-
egal, a former slave port, President George W. Bush ac-
knowledged slavert's continuing legaey in American life
and the need to eonfront that legacy when he stated that
slavery "was one of the greatest crimes of history
. . . The racial bigotry fed by slavery did not end with

slavery or with segregation. And many of the issues that

still trouble America have roots in the bitter erperience
of other times. But however long the journey, our destiny
is set: liberty and justiee for all.,,;
whereas President Bill clinton also aeknowledged the deep-
seated problems caused by the continuing legacy of rac-
ism against African-Arnericans that began with slavery
when he initiated a national dialogue about raee;

whereas a genuine apolory is an important and necessary

first step in the process of racial reconciliation;
Whereas an apolog, for eenturies of brutal dehumani zation
and injustices earurot erase the past, but eonfession of
the wrongs committed can speed racial healing and rec-
onciliation and help Americans confront the ghosts of
their past;
whereas the legislature of the commonwealth of virginia has
recently taken the lead in adopting a resolution ofEeially
expressing appropriate remorse for slavery and other
state legislatures have adopted or arle eonsidering similar
resolutions; and
whereas it is important for this eountry, whieh legally reeog-
nized slavery through its constitution and its laws, to
make a formal apolog, for slavery and for its successor,
Jim crow, so that it ean move forward and seek rec-
onciliation, justice, and harrnony for all of its citizens:
I{ow, therefore, be it
Resalned,, That the House of Bepresentatives_
(1) aeknowledges that slavery is ineompatible with
the basie founding principles recognized in the Declara-
tion of Independenee that all men are created equal;

against them and their ancestorc who suffered under

MESSAGE OF HIS HOUNESS

POPE FRAT{CIS
FOR TI.IE CELEBMNON OF THE
WORLD DAY OF PEACE

1 JANUARY 2015

NO LONGER SLAVES, BUT BROTHERS AND STSTERS

1. At the beginning of this New Year, which we welcome as Godt gracious gift to all humanity, I
offer hearffielt wishes of peace to every man and woman, to all the world's people and nations,
to heads of state and govemment, and to religious leaders. In doing so, I pray for an eM b
wars, conflicts and the great suffering caused by human agency, by epidemics past and presen!
and by the devastation wrought by natural disasters. I pray especially that, on the basis of our
common calling to cooperate with God and all people of good will for the advancement of
harmony and peace in the world, we may resist the tempbUon to act in a manner unworthy of
our humanity.

In my Message for Peace last year, I spoke of '"the desire for a full life... which includes a longing
for fraternity which draws us to fellowship with others and enables us to see them not as
enemies or rilals, but as bro&ers and sisters b be accepted and embraced".[1] Since we are by
nature relaUonal beings, meant to find fulfilment through interpersonal relationships inspired by
justice and love, it is fundamental for our human development that our dignity, freedom and
autonomy be acknowledged and respected. Tragically, the growing scourge of man's exptoitation
by man gravely damages the life of communion and our calling to forge interpersonal relations
marked by rcpect, justice and love. This abominable phenomenon, which leads b contempt for
the fundamental rights of others and to the suppression of their fteedom and dignity, takes many
forms. I would like briefly to consider these, so that, in the light of God's word, we can consider
all men and women "no longer slaves, but brothep and strtet!,.

Listening b M's plan for humanity

2. The theme I have chosen for this year's message is drawn from Saint Paul's letter b
Philemon, in which the Apostle asks his co-worker to welcome Onesimus, formerly philemon's
slave, now a Christian and, therefore, according to Paul, worthy of being considered a brother,
The AposUe of the Gentiles writes: "Perhaps this is why he was parted from you for a while, that
you might have him back for wer, Ix) longer as a slave hlt more than a slave, as a beloved
brother" (w. f5-16). Onesimus became Philemon's brotherwhen he became a Christian.
Conversion to Christ, the beginning of a lifie lived Christian disciptuhip, thus consttutes a new
birth (d. 2 CorS:L7; 1 Pett:3) which generates fratemityas the tundamental bond of family life
and the basis of life in society.
