Assembly Resolution No. 1339

BY: M. of A. Rules (Zaccaro)

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 May 13, 2026, as Yemeni American Heritage Day in the
 State of New York

 WHEREAS, It is the sense of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay just tribute to the cultural heritage of the ethnic groups which
comprise and contribute to the richness and diversity of the community
of the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and in full accord with its
long-standing traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 13, 2026, as Yemeni
American Heritage Day in the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Yemeni heritage is a rich and diverse blend of cultural,
historical, and social experiences with ancient roots dating back over
2,000 years; and

 WHEREAS, Yemeni Americans proudly connect with their Islamic
heritage and preserve customs such as traditional clothing, cuisine,
music, and dance; despite facing challenges like racism, Islamophobia,
and xenophobia, the Yemeni community has demonstrated remarkable
resilience and adaptability, making significant contributions to
American society; and

 WHEREAS, In the Bronx, Yemeni Americans have played a vital role in
shaping the borough's cultural identity; they have introduced
traditional Yemeni cuisine, such as saltah and mandhi, to the local food
scene, and have established cultural events, like the annual Yemeni
American Day Parade which celebrates their heritage and contributions to
the community; and

 WHEREAS, Yemeni entrepreneurs have revitalized commercial areas
across the Bronx and New York State, and have created countless
opportunities for economic growth and development; and

 WHEREAS, Through their profound and impactful contributions, members
of the Yemeni community have become an integral part of the Bronx's
diverse cultural tapestry, and as a result, have also enriched the
greater State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Furthermore, Yemeni Americans have made lasting impacts
across multiple fields, driving economic growth, advancing healthcare,
enriching education, and championing social justice; through their
innovative spirit, expertise, and dedication, they have strengthened
American society and fostered a more vibrant and diverse community; now,
therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim May 13, 2026, as Yemeni
American Heritage Day in the State of New York.
