Expressing support for the recognition of April as National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM) and celebrating the heritage and culture of Arab Americans in the United States.

HRES 297 is a non-binding House resolution expressing support for recognizing April as National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM). It highlights the cultural, economic, and historical contributions of Arab Americans - citing their roles as entrepreneurs, military service members, scientists, artists, and community leaders since the 1500s. The resolution urges Americans to celebrate this heritage through programs and activities, noting that 46 states, numerous cities, and President Biden have already acknowledged NAAHM. It does not create new laws or affect specific groups, as it solely serves to affirm and celebrate Arab American contributions.
