Recognizing the courageous actions of Reverend Nat Turner in his fight to abolish slavery and make the majestic words of the Jeffersonian Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", apply to the enslaved, and for other purposes.

This is a non-binding House resolution (H. Res. 632) introduced in the 119th Congress recognizing Reverend Nat Turner as a freedom fighter who contributed to the abolition of slavery and connecting his actions to the Jeffersonian idea that all people are created equal with unalienable rights. The resolution recounts Turner's life, his leadership in the Southampton Insurrection of 1831, and the violence surrounding both his uprising and its retaliation. It asserts that Turner's resistance helped provoke national discussion about slavery and the rights of enslaved people, and it calls for continued study, dialogue, and education on racial justice. It also reaffirms Jeffersonian ideals and urges Americans to observe a moment of reflection on Slavery Remembrance Day. As a resolution, it is ceremonial and symbolic, not a law. It does not create new rights or obligations, authorize spending, or change policy. Its core purpose is to honor Turner, recognize his role in the abolitionist movement, and encourage education and discussion about the history and ongoing impact of slavery in the United States.
