Commemorating the 60th Anniversary of the Independence of Guyana

This bill is a resolution that formally recognizes the 60th anniversary of Guyana's independence on May 26, 1966. It directly affects the State of New York by acknowledging the contributions of the approximately 140,000 Guyanese immigrants living in the city, particularly in neighborhoods like Brooklyn, the Bronx, and Queens. The resolution expresses appreciation for Guyana's cultural heritage and biodiversity while noting the deep historical ties between the two communities. The bill concludes by directing that a copy of the resolution be sent to the Guyana Consul General in New York.
