Equity Corner : Caribbean American Heritage Month

In addition to Pride month, June is also Caribbean American Heritage Month!  This is a month that promotes the rich culture and heritage of the Caribbean American people and their contribution to the United States of America. This means people from Cuba, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Haiti, Trinidad, and Tobago and other Caribbean countries.  

Here is a list of books for children of all ages that highlight Caribbean Americans, both historical figures and fictional characters.  

Maybe you can celebrate by eating a special dish from the Caribbean! Here is a list of popular foods - what sounds good to you?
