                   HONORING CARIBBEAN HERITAGE MONTH

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RASHIDA TLAIB

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 29, 2025

  Ms. TLAIB. Mr. Speaker, today, I want to recognize Caribbean American 
Heritage Month, and celebrate the culture, contributions, and history 
of Caribbean Americans in Michigan's 12th Congressional District and 
across our Nation.
  National Caribbean American Heritage Month, first recognized in 2005, 
was established after years of global efforts to spotlight Caribbean 
Americans' vibrant culture and contributions to our country. Caribbean 
Community Services, a nonprofit organization based in Detroit, 
Michigan, has done an outstanding job of uplifting Caribbean history. 
Through their engaging events, they celebrate the rich cultural 
heritage of the Caribbean and its significant impact on our 
southeastern Michigan communities. I am incredibly proud of the 
important work Caribbean Social Services undertakes to foster diverse 
and welcoming communities. I especially want to highlight their 
leadership in ensuring these contributions are recognized and valued as 
we celebrate Caribbean American Heritage Month.
  Please join me in recognizing National Caribbean American Heritage 
Month and the contributions of Caribbean Americans across our Nation 
and the 12th Congressional District.
