June is National Caribbean-American Heritage Month! In complex times like these, all cultures need to keep being united, especially in places like Miami, a multi-cultural town. When you live in the United States you are exposed to a multiplicity of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, religions and cultures. You name it we got it! It’s so great that there is recognition in all aspects for those who work hard and helped build this country and most cases there is but people don’t know.
The millions of people who descend from the Caribbean Islands partake in this nation’s story in many ways says the Caribbean-American Month Organization. This month not only shows gratitude and homage but it honors every Caribbean -American living in this country which is a big step. This is why we want to take a moment to recognize all of you who are of Caribbean descent and help raise awareness about this national celebration for years to come.
The Presidential Proclamation says: during the National Caribbean-American Heritage Month we should celebrate the contributions of our Caribbean-American brothers and sisters and reflect on how they have strengthened our nation and enriched our traditions. There are many countries and places that don’t take the time to acknowledge people who have affected them tremendously. So, it is a blessing to see that my ancestors who came here and made a difference in this country are being shown appreciation.
