AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution would have the House of Representatives formally recognize the 1885 Rock Springs Chinese Massacre in Wyoming, in which a mob killed at least 28 Chinese miners and burned their community. It would honor the victims and the work of Chinese immigrant laborers, and condemn the mob violence, the failure of authorities to protect residents or punish attackers, and later efforts to deny or distort the event. It encourages research, preservation, and possible federal historic recognition of the massacre site, and encourages teaching about the massacre in schools and colleges. The resolution does not create new laws or spend money.
