The resolution urges the United States Congress to advance the establishment of the National Museum of the American Latino, highlighting the significant contributions of Latinos to the history and culture of the United States. It emphasizes that while there are national museums dedicated to African-Americans and Native Americans, there is currently no museum that specifically honors the legacy and achievements of American Latinos, who represent a substantial and growing portion of the U.S. population.
The resolution calls for the reinstatement of the 2008 commission that was tasked with exploring the creation of this museum, advocating for its inclusion within the Smithsonian Institution and its location on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. The establishment of the National Museum of the American Latino is seen as a vital step in fostering greater recognition and appreciation for the Latino community's integral role in shaping the nation’s history, culture, and achievements.
