Press Release from SEEK Museum
Russellville, Ky. -- A bronze statue of the first African American woman to be admitted to the White Houes and Congressional Press Corps will be dedicated on August 2, at 4 p.m. in Russellville, Ky. The statue of Alice Allison Dunnigan will be located on the grounds of SEEK Museum: Struggles for Emancipation and Equality in Kentucky on the corner of East 6th and South Morgan Streets as part of a new park area dedicated to civil rights.

ProPublica has made available bulk data on congressional bills: "Download information on every bill introduced in each session of Congress, in a single file, with our new bulk bill data set."

This works for the current Congress: "Twice a day, we generate a single zip file containing metadata for every bill introduced in the current congress, including who sponsors and cosponsors the bill, actions taken by committees, votes on the floor and a summary of what the bill would do."

But bill data for past congresses (to 1973) are also available.
