The House Resolution recognizes September 2025 as "International Underground Railroad Month" in Pennsylvania, highlighting the historical significance of the Underground Railroad in aiding enslaved African Americans to escape to freedom. It acknowledges the long history of slavery in the Commonwealth, including the gradual abolition of slavery initiated by a law in 1780, which still left many enslaved individuals and their descendants in bondage. The resolution emphasizes the role of various organizations and individuals who contributed to the abolitionist movement and the operation of the Underground Railroad, which was a crucial network for freedom seekers.

Furthermore, the resolution calls for appreciation of the efforts made by individuals and organizations to document and share the history of the Underground Railroad, including initiatives by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission and the National Park Service. It aims to foster a global dialogue about freedom and honor those who have fought for the rights and liberties of all people, reinforcing the importance of remembering this pivotal aspect of American history.
