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 Arkansas figures, including Dorothy McFadden Hoover, a pioneering physicist and mathematician; Maya Angelou, a celebrated author and poet; Revoyda Frierson, a singer and actress; John H. Johnson, a prominent African American publisher; and Raye Montague, an innovator in naval ship design. 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.
