A Resolution designating the month of May 2025 as "Haitian Heritage Month" in Pennsylvania.

This House Resolution (HR 161) designates May 2025 as "Haitian Heritage Month" in Pennsylvania. It is a symbolic recognition by the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, not a policy-changing bill. The resolution highlights Haiti's historical significance - including its 1804 independence, role in ending slavery, cultural influence, and the Haitian diaspora in the U.S. - to celebrate Haitian heritage and contributions. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups, as it is a commemorative resolution.
