Honoring the memory of the victims of the 1967 Newark riots and acknowledging the enduring impact on the Newark community.

This non-binding House resolution honors the memory of those who died and acknowledges the suffering caused by the 1967 Newark riots, which took place July 12–17, 1967. It recognizes the enduring impact of those events on the Newark community and on the national conversation about civil rights, racial justice, and social inequities. The resolution articulates a commitment to supporting initiatives that address racial and economic disparities, promote equitable policing practices, and encourage community engagement to reduce the risk of similar unrest in the future. While it does not create new law or allocate funds, it provides a formal statement of Congress and signals a policy emphasis on addressing the root causes of unrest through collaboration with state and federal resources.
