Expressing support for the recognition of January as "Muslim-American Heritage Month" and celebrating the heritage and culture of Muslim Americans in the United States.
This symbolic resolution (HRES 989) urges the U.S. House of Representatives to recognize January as "Muslim-American Heritage Month" to honor the contributions of Muslim Americans. It highlights their historical and contemporary roles in U.S. society across fields like business, science, sports, and public service. The resolution calls for public observance through ceremonies and programs but has no legal effect or policy changes. It does not allocate funding, alter laws, or directly affect any specific group beyond raising awareness of Muslim-American heritage.
