Holiday Spotlight
March is Women's History Month.
This month, we highlight the role of women in historical and contemporary society. March 8 of Women's History Month is International Women's Day, a day used to bring awareness to issues facing women across the globe and is used as a call to action for women's equality. The 2023 theme is #EmbraceEquity.
Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month begins in May.
This month is used to highlight, acknowledge and bring awareness to the contributions of AAPIs to the history and culture of the United States. May was chosen to commemorate the first recorded Japanese immigrants arriving to the US in May and the date the "golden spike" was driven into the first transcontinental railroad, created using Chinese labor, also in May.
June is Pride Month.
Pride Month is all about LGBTQ pride, fight for rights and cultural acceptance. The first pride marches were held a year after the Stonewall riots across the United States. In June 1999, US President Bill Clinton declared June Gay and Lesbian Pride Month. In 2011, Obama legislatively expanded Pride to include the whole LGBT community.
Happy Pride!
