Key Points

  • The Senate officially named February 16, 2025, as National Elizabeth Peratrovich Day. This honors a Tlingit woman who was a key leader in the fight for civil rights and equality for Alaska Native and Native American communities.
  • Peratrovich is best known for her work helping to pass the Anti-Discrimination Act of 1945 in Alaska. This was the first anti-discrimination law ever passed in the United States, occurring almost 20 years before the national Civil Rights Act.
  • The resolution calls on Americans to remember her advocacy and continue the work of ensuring equal treatment for all people. While Alaska has celebrated this day for decades, this resolution brings her story to a national level.
