A resolution commemorating the continuation of the semicentennial of hip hop and designating August 11, 2025, as "Hip Hop Celebration Day", designating August 2025 as "Hip Hop Recognition Month", and designating November 2025 as "Hip Hop History Month".

This resolution designates August 11, 2025, as "Hip Hop Celebration Day," August 2025 as "Hip Hop Recognition Month," and November 2025 as "Hip Hop History Month" to commemorate the 50th anniversary of hip hop's origins. It references the 1973 Back to School Jam in the Bronx as hip hop's founding event and encourages federal, state, and local governments to observe these dates through activities honoring hip hop's cultural impact. The resolution has no legal force or direct effect on individuals or policies - it is purely symbolic, calling for recognition of hip hop's artistic, social, and economic contributions without imposing requirements.
