The Michigan Senate adopted Senate Resolution 38 on April 30, 2025, commemorating April 30, 1975, as Black April Memorial Week and recognizing the contributions and sacrifices of Vietnamese Americans. The resolution was sponsored by Senator Demos and was adopted by voice vote after floor remarks.

Senator Demos described the historical context of April 30, 1975, noting the fall of Saigon and the subsequent waves of refugees who resettled in the United States. In remarks that the senator asked be printed in the journal, Demos summarized the evacuation of Saigon and later refugee movements, referenced relief and resettlement programs, and said the day is both a memorial and a recognition of the resilience of Vietnamese American communities. Senator Chang invited members of the Vietnamese American Association of Michigan to the gallery and the Senate recognized those guests.

Earlier in the session, Senator Demuth had offered Senate Resolution 37, a separate resolution urging the President and Congress to renew the African Growth and Opportunity Act and expand it to additional sub-Saharan African countries; that item was postponed for the day. SR38 was adopted by voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded in the transcript.
