Celebrating Caribbean-American Heritage Month, Immigrant Heritage Month, and LGBTQ+ Pride Month

During Caribbean-American Heritage Month, we celebrate the achievements and dreams of the millions of people of Caribbean origin now living in the United States while honoring the shared history of joy and perseverance that has united and enriched life across our region for centuries.

The very idea of America has been advanced by immigrants from every part of the world — my ancestors and yours. Their dreams built America, and during National Immigrant Heritage Month, we celebrate their courage.

During Pride Month, we honor a movement that has grown stronger, more vibrant, and more inclusive with every passing year.
