The bill H. 5810 is a House Resolution recognizing and honoring the city of Georgetown, South Carolina, as a designated site of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Routes of Enslaved Peoples: Resistance, Liberty, and Heritage Project. This recognition coincides with the 500-year anniversary of the first African arrivals to Winyah Bay in Georgetown, marking a significant historical event in the context of the transatlantic slave trade, during which approximately twelve million Africans were forcibly transported, with an estimated two million perishing during the Middle Passage.

The resolution highlights the establishment of a Steering Committee in Georgetown, which is working to develop and install a Middle Passage Marker to honor those who endured the journey and to memorialize the cultural legacy of the Gullah Geechee people. The marker is set to be erected on October 24, 2026, on sacred ground in Georgetown, serving as a tribute to the resilience and contributions of the African diaspora in shaping the Americas.
