African Diaspora Heritage Month Act of 2024
S 3656, the African Diaspora Heritage Month Act of 2024, directs the President to issue an annual proclamation designating a month as "African Diaspora Heritage Month." This recognition aims to honor the contributions of the African diaspora community in the United States, which includes immigrants and descendants from across Africa. The bill requires federal, state, and local governments, as well as educational institutions, to observe the month through programs and activities. It does not create new funding or programs but establishes a formal annual recognition period.
