Senate Resolution 32 Summary

  • Encourages Oklahoma's Congressional Delegation to support the establishment of a National Women's History Museum on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

  • Recognizes that women constitute a majority of the U.S. population but their contributions remain underrepresented in museums, memorials, and history textbooks.

  • Notes that the President's Commission on the Celebration of Women in American History (1999) called for a women's history museum on the National Mall, and the non-profit National Women's History Museum (founded 1996) has identified federally-owned property for purchase.

  • Emphasizes no federal funds are being sought; the museum would be funded through privately-raised funds.

  • Directs distribution of the resolution to all members of the Oklahoma congressional delegation.
