periods of hardship, including political and social upheaval, and has
maintained a strong connection to its traditions, language, and cultural
practices; and

significantly contributed to the United States in fields such as
business, education, arts, and government, while also sharing and
celebrating their cultural heritage with their communities; and

 WHEREAS, It is essential to continue promoting education and
understanding of Uzbek history, language, and culture, ensuring that
their legacy is preserved and appreciated as an integral part of global
civilization; and

 WHEREAS, The experiences of the Uzbek people, particularly their
path to independence, serve as an important reminder of the values of
freedom, self-determination, and the importance of preserving cultural
identity and sovereignty; and

legacy and contributions of the Uzbek community, reaffirming its
commitment to cultural inclusion, historical remembrance, and the
protection of human rights for all; now, therefore, be it
