African Diaspora Heritage Month Act of 2023
S 2789, the African Diaspora Heritage Month Act of 2023, would require the President to annually designate a month as "African Diaspora Heritage Month" through a formal proclamation. The proclamation would call on state and local governments and the public to observe the month with programs and activities celebrating the contributions of the African diaspora community. This bill does not create new government programs or funding but adds a recurring national observance to federal law. The African diaspora community - encompassing people of diverse African heritage living in the United States - would be the focus of this recognition.
