Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2025, as Black Music Month in the State of New York

This resolution requests Governor Hochul to officially designate June 2025 as "Black Music Month" in New York State, aligning with the national observance of African American Music Appreciation Month. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups; instead, it asks the Governor to issue a formal proclamation recognizing the cultural significance of Black music. The resolution cites historical context about Black musical contributions but serves only as a symbolic gesture without policy changes. It was adopted by the Assembly on June 9, 2025, and now awaits the Governor's action.
