The resolution designates May of each year as Haitian Heritage Month, aiming to celebrate and raise awareness of the rich culture, history, and contributions of Haiti and its people. This month-long observance highlights significant historical events, such as the Haitian Revolution, which was the first successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere, and the establishment of Haiti as the first independent Black republic. The resolution emphasizes the importance of educating the public about Haitian traditions, language, art, and cuisine, as well as recognizing the resilience of the Haitian people in the face of challenges, including natural disasters.

Additionally, the resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation encouraging public officials and citizens to observe Haitian Heritage Month with appropriate programs and activities. It acknowledges the substantial influence of Haitian American immigrants in various fields within the United States, particularly in New Jersey, which has the fourth largest Haitian-American population. By designating this month, the resolution seeks to honor the achievements of Haitians and promote a deeper understanding of their cultural heritage.
