Senate Concurrent Resolution 32 Summary

• Encourages Oklahoma's Congressional Delegation to support the National Women's History Museum (NWHM) in securing a location on or near the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

• Acknowledges that women comprise a majority of the U.S. population but remain underrepresented in museums, memorials, and history textbooks despite their significant contributions to American society.

• Notes that the President's Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History called for such a museum in 1999, and the non-profit NWHM (founded in 1996) seeks to preserve and celebrate women's diverse historical contributions.

• Recognizes that pending legislation would authorize the NWHM to purchase federally-owned property near the National Mall using privately-raised funds.

• Directs that copies of the resolution be distributed to all members of Oklahoma's Congressional delegation.
