AJR 76 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Designates May of each year as Haitian Heritage Month.

AJR 76 designates May of each year as Haitian Heritage Month in New Jersey. The resolution aims to celebrate Haitian culture, history, and contributions - including the Haitian Revolution and culinary traditions - while raising public awareness about Haitian achievements. It requires the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public observance through community programs. This designation specifically recognizes New Jersey’s fourth-largest Haitian-American population (nearly 69,000 residents) and expands on Haitian Flag Day (May 18).
