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, despite the existence of 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 tasked with exploring the creation of this museum, advocating for its inclusion within the Smithsonian Institution and its placement on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. By establishing the National Museum of the American Latino, the resolution aims to foster greater recognition and appreciation of Latino contributions, providing a dedicated space to celebrate their rich culture and integral role in the nation's history.
