Assembly Resolution No. 1184

BY: M. of A. Williams

 MEMORIALIZING Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim
 June 2026, as Caribbean Heritage Month 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 keeping with its
time-honored traditions, it is the intent of this Legislative Body to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2026, as Caribbean
Heritage Month in the State of New York, in conjunction with the
observance of National Caribbean Heritage Month; and

 WHEREAS, Caribbean Heritage Month commemoration was adopted by the
United States House of Representatives in 2005, to recognize the
significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history
and culture of the United States; and

 WHEREAS, The resolution passed the Senate in February of 2006, and
President George H.W. Bush issued the proclamation in June of the same
year; and

 WHEREAS, Since the declaration, the White House has issued an annual
proclamation recognizing June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month; and

 WHEREAS, The commemoration of Caribbean-American Heritage Month aims
to remind Americans that our greatness lies in our diversity; Caribbean
immigrants from founding father, Alexander Hamilton, to journalist,
Malcolm Gladwell, have helped to shape the American dream; and

 WHEREAS, It is the practice of this Legislative Body to recognize
those important months which remind us of the rich and diverse heritage
of our great State and Nation; now, therefore, be it

 RESOLVED, That this Legislative Body pause in its deliberations to
memorialize Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim June 2026, as Caribbean
Heritage Month in the State of New York; and be it further

 RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution, suitably engrossed, be
transmitted to The Honorable Kathy Hochul, Governor of the State of New
York.
