Caribbean American Heritage Month

<p>Hi parents, I am just wondering if you support the passage for a Caribbean American Heritage Month in June. It has passed through the House and Senate, and President Bush just needs to sign it to become a national celebration. I guess what perplexes me is that what purpose will this month bring when we already have Black History Month and Hispanic Heritage Month.</p>

<p>If it will bring Mocko Jumbies to the States and revive the steel drum orchestras, I’m all for it.</p>
