IL HR0525

Declares June 14, 2026 as Race Amity Day in the State of Illinois

Commemorates the first national convention for amity between the races held in Washington, D.C. in May 1921, a multiracial interfaith gathering

Recognizes that 39.8% of Illinois residents (approximately 5,600,000 people) identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian American, or multiracial

Invites communities across the United States to join in reflection on the diversity of the nation and reach out with a spirit of amity toward one another

Aligns with the National Center for Race Amity's "Towards E Pluribus Unum Initiative," which designates the second Sunday in June annually as Race Amity Day
