Plain-English Summary

The proposal would officially recognize a national month dedicated to celebrating the history, culture, and contributions of Caribbean Americans. This would give Caribbean American communities formal recognition similar to other heritage months already observed by the federal government. The designation would encourage schools, businesses, and government agencies to acknowledge and celebrate Caribbean American heritage during that designated time.
