Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 18, 2026, as Haitian Flag Day in the State of New York
This bill asks Governor Kathy Hochul to officially recognize May 18, 2026, as Haitian Flag Day throughout New York State. The resolution honors the historical significance of that date, when Haiti raised its first flag in 1803 to mark its independence from France. It highlights Haiti's role as the first Black-led republic and acknowledges the state's large Haitian immigrant population. The measure is a ceremonial proclamation that does not create new laws or change existing policies.
