A RESOLUTION commemorating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month.

HR 61 is a Kentucky House resolution commemorating the 100th anniversary of Black History Month, which originated as Negro History Week in 1926. The resolution formally acknowledges the contributions of African Americans to U.S. history and Kentucky, encourages public awareness of Black history, and urges continued reflection on this history to address current challenges. It directs the Kentucky House to recognize this milestone through specific acknowledgments, including the significance of Black history to American identity and the need for ongoing education. As a symbolic resolution, it does not create new laws or allocate funds but serves to honor historical milestones.
