                   CARIBBEAN AMERICAN HERITAGE MONTH

  (Ms. TLAIB asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, I recognize Caribbean American Heritage 
Month, celebrating the culture, contributions, and history of Caribbean 
Americans in Michigan's 12th Congressional District and across the 
country.
  Caribbean American Heritage Month, first recognized in 2005, was 
established after years of global efforts to uplift our Caribbean-
American neighbors. Their vibrant culture and contributions to our 
country and throughout the 12th Congressional District has uplifted 
many of our communities.
  The Caribbean communities in northwest Detroit, as well as in the 
city of Inkster and throughout western Wayne and Oakland County, have 
created powerful legacies through food, beauty businesses, fresh 
markets, and nonprofits working to care for our families and new 
immigrants.
  Caribbean Community Services in my district, a nonprofit 
organization, has done an outstanding job in uplifting Caribbean 
history. Through their engaging events, Mr. Speaker, they have 
celebrated the rich cultural heritage of the Caribbean and its 
significant impact on our communities. Please join me in ensuring that 
our Caribbean-American neighbors throughout our country are recognized 
as we celebrate this month.
