Honoring and celebrating the groundbreaking cultural, historical, and social impact of the Grandassa Models in redefining standards of beauty, confronting colorism, and advancing Black cultural pride during the height of the civil rights era and beyond.

This resolution would have the U.S. House of Representatives honor the Grandassa Models, a group of African-American women who debuted in Harlem, New York, in 1962.
