Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 18, 2025, as Haitian Unity Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a binding law) requesting Governor Hochul to designate May 18, 2025, as "Haitian Unity Day" in New York State, coinciding with Haitian Heritage Month. It directly recognizes Haitian cultural contributions and historical significance to New York and the U.S., citing figures like Toussaint L'Ouverture, Pierre Toussaint, and Jean-Baptiste Du Sable. The resolution has no funding or policy impact - it serves solely as a symbolic gesture to honor Haitian heritage. It was adopted by the Senate on January 22, 2025.
