The month of June is special for numerous reasons: there’s sunshine to soak up, we all get a chance to catch up on some family time, and who can forget the many graduations and BBQs galore (just to name a few)! But did you know, that June is also a month of commemoration? In 2006, June was dubbed National Caribbean-American Heritage Month to honor and recognize the vital contributions made by Caribbean people and their descendants to shape the American cultural and historical landscape as we know it today. All month long and across the U.S. you can catch parades, festivals and special exhibits and so much more! But the real question is, how much do you really know about Caribbean-American history and heritage?
