Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim August 11, 2025, as Hip-Hop Celebration Day in the State of New York

This is a ceremonial resolution (not a bill with binding effects) requesting Governor Hochul to officially recognize August 11, 2025, as "Hip-Hop Celebration Day" in New York State. It commemorates August 11, 1973 - the date DJ Kool Herc's "Back To School Jam" in the Bronx is widely considered the birth of hip-hop - aligning with National Hip-Hop Celebration Day. The resolution has no policy changes or direct impact on residents; it is purely symbolic, urging the Governor to issue a formal proclamation. The Legislature adopted this resolution on June 4, 2025.
