Welcome to June National Caribbean American Heritage Month

In June 2005, the House of Representatives designated the month of June as the month to recognize the significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history and culture of the United States.  On February 14, 2006, the resolution similarly passed the Senate, culminating a two-year, bipartisan and bicameral effort.

Since the declaration, the White House has issued an annual proclamation recognizing June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month. This year marks the eighth anniversary of June as National Caribbean American Heritage Month.  

I will be participating in a number of events this month in celebration of my heritage and encourage to look for events in your area where you can learn more about the beautiful islands of the Caribbean. 

Best
