In 2000, ICS began leading the celebration of June as Caribbean American Heritage Month in Washington DC, building on efforts started by a now defunct Ad-Hoc Group of Washington DC residents to have a Caribbean Heritage Month in Washington DC in 1999. The official Campaign for a National Caribbean American Heritage Month began in 2004, when the Bill was tabled in Congress by Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The Bill was reintroduced and passed the House in June, 2005, and the Senate in February, 2006.
 
During Caribbean-American Heritage Month, we celebrate the great contributions of Caribbean Americans to the fabric of our Nation, and we pay tribute to the common culture and bonds of friendship that unite the United States and the Caribbean countries.

Caribbean American History Month Celebrations

Welcome to the fifth annual celebration of Caribbean arts and culture in America's capital.  This year we have taken a leap of faith and expanded it to include music and dance and thus we have re-imagined it as a Festival of the Arts and Humanities.   Because the Festival contains so many elements of our culture we call it ALLSPICE -- all spectacular, positively, Irie, Caribbean edutainment... or SPICE for short.  This year we will produce a banquet of activities from literature to music to art, all signifying the crossings of Caribbean identity in America.

We hope you can join us...
