The resolution celebrates Black History Month in February 2025, acknowledging the significant contributions and sacrifices made by African Americans throughout the history of Arkansas and the United States. It highlights the historical context of Black History Month, which originated from Dr. Carter Woodson's establishment of Negro History Week in 1926, and has been celebrated annually since February 1976. The resolution emphasizes the importance of recognizing both well-known figures, such as Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and Rosa Parks, as well as lesser-known individuals who have made impactful contributions to society.

Additionally, the resolution honors notable African Americans from Arkansas, including Dorothy McFadden Hoover, Maya Angelou, Revoyda Frierson (Ketty Lester), John H. Johnson, and Raye Montague, each of whom has made significant strides in various fields such as science, literature, music, and publishing. The House of Representatives expresses its commitment to celebrating Black History Month and educating the public about the rich history and achievements of African Americans, thereby fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of their role in shaping the nation.
