The resolution urges Major League Baseball (MLB) to establish a Negro Leagues Day to be observed annually on May 2. This date marks the anniversary of the first game played by the Negro National League in 1920, a significant milestone in the history of African-American baseball. The resolution highlights the exclusion of African-Americans from Major League play until 1959 and acknowledges the formation of the Negro Baseball Leagues, which provided a platform for talented players like Josh Gibson and James "Cool Papa" Bell. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing the contributions of these leagues to the sport and society, as they played a crucial role in breaking down racial barriers.

Additionally, the resolution notes New Jersey's historical significance in the context of the Negro Leagues, including its association with the Newark Eagles and various Hall of Fame players. It mentions the integration of Negro Leagues statistics into MLB history in 2024, allowing these players to be acknowledged for their achievements. The resolution calls for copies to be sent to key figures in MLB and baseball museums, reinforcing the importance of commemorating the legacy of the Negro Leagues and their impact on American culture.
