Urging the Secretary of the Interior to approve the designation of Hemming Park in Jacksonville, Florida, as part of the National Park Service's African American Civil Rights Network.

This resolution expresses support for the designation of Hemming Park in Jacksonville, Florida, as part of the National Park Service's African American Civil Rights Network. Hemming Park stood at the center of the 1960s race riots in Jacksonville, Florida, where ax handles were used to beat African Americans who were attempting to desegregate lunch counters.

The resolution recognizes designating Hemming Park as part of the National Park Service's African American Civil Rights Network shall mark the day of the Ax Handle Saturday attack as a reminder of what happened and honor those who stood up for justice.
