African Diaspora Heritage Month Act of 2025
This bill designates an annual "African Diaspora Heritage Month" to honor the contributions of the African diaspora community in the United States, which includes approximately 50 million people. It requires the President to issue a yearly proclamation designating a month for this observance and encourages state and local governments, schools, and communities to hold related programs and activities. The bill does not create new funding or alter existing policies, but formally establishes an annual recognition period to highlight the community's cultural, economic, and historical significance.
