SRES 214 is a non-binding Senate resolution recognizing May as Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. It celebrates the historical contributions of these communities to U.S. history and acknowledges their diverse populations, which together represent over 10% of the U.S. population.
