This is a non-binding House resolution (H. Res. 661) introduced in the 119th Congress by Representative Norton. It expresses support for designating August 22, 2025 as “Chuck Brown Day” and honors Chuck Brown for his contributions to music and to the District of Columbia. The resolution cites Brown as the creator of the go-go musical style, highlights his long DC residence, his musical achievements, and his influence on various genres and artists. It also notes Brown’s activism for DC statehood and voting rights, and references existing DC landmarks named in his honor, as well as the go-go music genre being associated with DC.
