IL SR0118

Declares June 8, 2025 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 multi-racial interfaith gathering that lasted three days

Recognizes Illinois's diverse population, noting that 39.8% (approximately 5,600,000 people) identify as Black, Hispanic, Asian American, or multi-racial

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

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