U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) has introduced a resolution in Congress seeking to recognize and celebrate the significance of Black history museums and cultural institutions.

The bill emphasizes the important role that Black history museums and cultural institutions play in rectifying the “historical omission, marginalization, and misrepresentation of Black people in mainstream museums and textbooks,” as well as preserving “irreplaceable records, artifacts, and narratives documenting the full scope of African-derived cultures’ contributions to the United States and the world.”

Pressley’s resolution also calls on U.S. citizens to “confront” present-day efforts to “erase or distort Black history.
