AI Summary
This resolution recognizes September 15 through October 15, 2025, as "Hispanic Heritage Month" in Pennsylvania, a time to celebrate and honor the cultures, contributions, and achievements of Hispanic and Latino Americans. The resolution highlights the historical significance of this month-long observance, which originated as "Hispanic Heritage Week" and was later expanded by Congress, coinciding with independence days of several Central and South American countries. It notes that Hispanics represent nearly one-fifth of the U.S. population (65.2 million people) and over 1.04 million residents in Pennsylvania, emphasizing their significant contributions to military service, cultural diversity, and the state's economy. The resolution calls on all Pennsylvanians to honor Hispanic communities by engaging in learning, service, and celebration, recognizing their rich traditions and their embodiment of values like service, faith, and pursuit of the American dream. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives seeks to acknowledge the substantial positive impact Hispanic communities have on both the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the United States as a whole.
