Greetings On-Line Family from Susan Mangatal and all of us at Arious Entertainment - susan@ariousentertainment.us

It's time to Celebrate June - National Caribbean-American Heritage Month   "Caribbean Americans have made lasting contributions to our Nation's culture and history, and the month of June has been set aside to honor their cultural, linguistic, ethnic, and social diversity.

Generations of immigrants have preserved the traditions of their homelands, and these traditions have defined our Nation's identity. Caribbean Americans bring a unique and vibrant culture. This multilingual and multiethnic tradition has strengthened our social fabric and enriched the diversity of our Nation"  by President Barack H. Obama

National Caribbean-Heritage Month is a time to celebrate, recognize, pay tribute and commemorate Caribbean-American Heritage.  Indeed it is a time to:

• Celebrate the great contributions of Caribbean-Americans to the economic, social and cultural landscape of the United States.

• Recognize the many contributions of Caribbean immigrants and their decedents to the well-being of America.

• Celebrate the historic relationships between the people of the Caribbean and the people of the United States.

• Pay tribute to the common culture and bonds of friendship that unite the United States and the Caribbean countries. (The vibrancy and hopefulness due to the talent, faith and values of Caribbean-Americans)

• Commemorate Caribbean-American heritage, history, culture and contributions to the United States.

• Recognize how Caribbean-Americans enriches society by being leaders in government, arts, entertainment, sports, fashion, poetry, theatre, in businesses and much more.

During this special month we certainly must appropriately take the time to celebrate us, our culture, contributions  and commemorate our heritage and history.  To learn more about Caribbean-American Heritage Month and its history log on their site by CLICKING HERE!  Additionally to read The entire Proclamation issued by President Barack H.
