The resolution designates May of each year as Haitian Heritage Month, a time to celebrate and raise awareness of the rich culture, history, and contributions of Haiti and its people. This month-long observance aims to educate the public about the significant historical achievements of Haitians, including their role in the Haitian Revolution, which was the first successful slave rebellion in the Western Hemisphere. The resolution highlights key figures such as Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines, who played pivotal roles in Haiti's fight for independence, as well as the cultural significance of Haitian Flag Day, which falls on May 18th.

In addition to recognizing the historical importance of Haiti, the resolution acknowledges the contributions of Haitian Americans to various fields in the United States, particularly in New Jersey, which has a substantial Haitian-American population. 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, thereby fostering a greater understanding and appreciation of Haitian culture and resilience in the face of challenges.
