Trump proclaims June
National Caribbean
American Heritage Month
By Nelson A. King
President Donald J. Trump has
proclaimed June National Caribbean-
American Heritage Month, stating
that, during the month, the US
acknowledges “the significant ways
Caribbean Americans have shaped
our culture and heritage.”
“Americans with roots in the Caribbean
have greatly enriched our society,
contributing to the arts, business,
journalism, technology, government,
religion, the military, sports, and
many other fields,” said Trump in a
White House proclamation on Friday.
Singling out Barbadian Joseph
Sandiford Atwell, Trump said Sandiford
Atwell, “through his dedication
to his faith, exemplified the unyielding
spirit of Caribbean Americans.”
Born in Barbados in 1831, Atwell
moved to the United States in 1863
and attended the Philadelphia Divinity
School, Trump noted.
Following the Civil War, he said
Sandiford Atwell “went to spread
God’s message of hope and love to the
emancipated slaves in the South.
“Due to the strength of his ministry,
he became the first black Episcopal
deacon ordained in the Diocese of
Kentucky and went on to become the
first black Episcopal priest in the Diocese
of Virginia,” Trump said.
Earlier this year, Trump said he
met, in Florida, with the leaders of
the Bahamas, Dominican Republic,
Haiti, Jamaica and St. Lucia “to reaffirm
our partnership with the Caribbean.
“We discussed how we can bring
greater prosperity to this important
region, including potential opportunities
for energy investment and
enhanced trade partnerships,” the US
president said. “We made tremendous
progress, and we will build on these
discussions to strengthen further the
relationship we share with our Caribbean
neighbors.
“This month, we recognize the
vibrant culture and patriotism of Caribbean
Americans that continue to
bolster our country and enrich our
lives, and we pay tribute to the strong
friendship between the United States
and the countries of the Caribbean,”
Trump added. “now, therefore, I, Donald
J. Trump, President of the United
States of America, by virtue of the
authority vested in me by the Constitution
and the laws of the United
States, do hereby proclaim June 2019
as National Caribbean-American Heritage
Month.”
Trump urged all Americans to join
him in celebrating the history, cultur
and achievements of Caribbean Americans
“with appropriate ceremonies
and activities.”
