House would recognize Cinco de Mayo's history and encourage its observance across the U.S.
This resolution would have the U.S. House of Representatives formally recognize Cinco de Mayo as a culturally and historically important holiday. It would acknowledge Mexico's fight for independence and freedom. The House would also encourage people across the United States to celebrate Cinco de Mayo with appropriate events.
Today, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated by many, especially Mexican and Mexican-American communities, commemorating Mexico's victory in the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862. If this resolution passes, the U.S. House of Representatives would formally recognize this historical event and encourage all Americans to observe the holiday.
