SUMMARY:International Day for Tolerance (United Nations)
DESCRIPTION:“Tolerance is respect\, acceptance\, and appreciation of the rich diversity of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human.” – UNESCO’s 1995 Declaration of Principles on Tolerance \n  \n\n\nIn 1996\, the UN General Assembly adopted Resolution 51/95 proclaiming 16 November as International Day for Tolerance. \nThis action followed the adoption of a Declaration of Principles on Tolerance by UNESCO’s Member States on 16 November 1995. Among other things\, the Declaration affirms that tolerance is neither indulgence nor indifference. It is respect and appreciation of the rich variety of our world’s cultures\, our forms of expression and ways of being human. Tolerance recognizes the universal human rights and fundamental freedoms of others. People are naturally diverse; only tolerance can ensure the survival of mixed communities in every region of the globe. \nhttps://www.unesco.org/en/days/tolerance

SUMMARY:Caribbean American Heritage Month
DESCRIPTION:In June 2005\, the House of Representatives unanimously adopted H. Con. Res. 71\, sponsored by Congresswoman Barbara Lee\, recognizing the significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history and culture of the United States. On February 14\, 2006\, the resolution similarly passed the Senate\, culminating a two-year\, bipartisan and bicameral effort. The Proclamation was issued by President George W. Bush on June 6\, 2006. \nSince the declaration\, the White House has issued an annual proclamation recognizing June as Caribbean-American Heritage Month. This year marks the fourteenth celebration of June as National Caribbean American Heritage Month. \nThe campaign to designate June as National Caribbean American Heritage Month was spearheaded by Dr. Claire Nelson\, Founder\, and President of the Institute of Caribbean Studies. Through the commemoration of this month\, we hope to ensure that America is reminded that its greatness lies in its diversity\, with Caribbean immigrants from founding father Alexander Hamilton\, to journalist Malcolm Gladwell\, who have shaped the American dream. \nSourced from

SUMMARY:Native American Citizenship Day (US)
DESCRIPTION:On June 2\, 1924\, the U.S. government unilaterally extended U.S. citizenship to Native Americans by passing the Indian Citizenship Act over the objection of some Native Nations. As dual citizens of their tribes and the United States\, members of federally-recognized tribes should have been able to register and participate in both nontribal (U.S.) elections and tribal elections. \nSourced from https://narf.org/anniversary-indian-citizenship-act

SUMMARY:Flag Day (US)
DESCRIPTION:When the American Revolution broke out in 1775\, the colonists weren’t fighting united under a single flag. Instead\, most regiments participating in the war for independence against the British fought under their own flags. In June of 1775\, the Second Continental Congress met in Philadelphia to create the Continental Army—a unified colonial fighting force—with the hopes of a more organized battle against its colonial oppressors. This led to the creation of what was\, essentially\, the first “American” flag\, the Continental Colors. \nFor some\, this flag\, which was comprised of 13 red and white alternating stripes and a Union Jack in the corner\, was too similar to that of the British. George Washington soon realized that flying a flag that was even remotely close to the British flag was not a great confidence-builder for the revolutionary effort\, so he turned his efforts towards creating a new symbol of freedom for the soon-to-be fledgling nation. \nOn June 14\, 1777\, the Second Continental Congress took a break from writing the Articles of Confederation and passed a resolution stating that “the flag of the United States be 13 stripes\, alternate red and white\,” and that “the union be 13 stars\, white in a blue field\, representing a new constellation.” \nOver 100 years later\, in 1916\, President Woodrow Wilson marked the anniversary of that decree by officially establishing June 14 as Flag Day. \nSourced from https://www.history.com/news/what-is-flag-day
