H.Res. 291 is a symbolic resolution urging Americans to observe March 2025 as Bulgarian-American Heritage Month. The resolution highlights the historical and ongoing contributions of Bulgarian immigrants and their descendants to American society, including notable figures in arts, science, technology, and academia like artist Christo, actress Nina Dobrev, and Harvard astrophysicist Dimitar Sasselov. It also acknowledges nearly 120 years of diplomatic relations between the United States and Bulgaria, dating back to 1903, and recognizes Bulgaria's cultural gifts to the world, such as the Cyrillic alphabet. The resolution calls on Americans to celebrate Bulgarian culture through appropriate events and activities, while affirming the strategic partnership between the two nations. As a resolution rather than legislation, this measure carries no funding or binding requirements—it is primarily a statement of Congressional recognition and encouragement.
