The Senate Resolution introduced on February 5, 2025, recognizes February 2025 as "Black History Month" in Pennsylvania. It highlights the significant contributions of African-American citizens across various fields, including science, education, and legislation, which have positively influenced the Commonwealth. The resolution pays tribute to Dr. Carter Godwin Woodson, who founded the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) and established "Negro History Week" in 1926, later evolving into the broader observance of "Black History Month."

The resolution emphasizes the importance of commemorating the historical struggles and achievements of African Americans, as well as acknowledging their invaluable contributions to society. It notes that the theme for this year's observance is "African Americans and Labor," and it calls upon all citizens to honor the sacrifices made by African Americans throughout history. The Pennsylvania Legislative Black Caucus is also recognized for its advocacy on behalf of people of color in the Commonwealth, reinforcing the significance of this month as a time for reflection and celebration of African American heritage.
