A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution, titled the ``Original Resolution Honoring Harriet Tubman'', seeks to honor the legacy of Harriet Tubman.

It specifically mentions her leadership in the Combahee River Raid which liberated 700 enslaved people. Additionally, it recognizes her lifelong fight for human rights and women's suffrage.
